Steve Coffey captures in his paintings the prairies and land he loves with energy, passion, and atmosphere.
Artist’s Statement
“My work is elemental, with a focus on nature and the forces with which humanity has to contend. I search for a distinctive atmosphere from the immensity and grandeur of the plains to the human mark etched upon it. With both a plaintive and expressive palette of light and movement I draw both from my past, a process I call “Memory Polaroids”, and from the present day of all that surrounds me. My medium is oil on canvas.”
