Steven Van Zoost - Paint the Town 2026 | At-Home/Studio Artist

"My work explores how our inner lives shape our daily experiences, turning self-reflection into a physical and visual journey. I work with oil sticks, palette knives, and the scratching technique of sgraffito to leave visible marks that reveal the history of each piece. This creates a deliberate tension between spontaneous energy and strict control. Shaped by my roots in farming, academia, and music, my art spans from nature to the impact of AI on the human spirit. Ultimately, these pieces invite viewers into a quiet space to confront their own self-understandings."
