Though Steve makes a career of teaching, he uses the arts as a teaching tool and is dedicated to pursuing the visual arts in a professional manner. He had four years of commercial art training at Ontario College of Art, receiving a diploma in "Illustration/Advertising". He has also had experience in mural painting, silk screening and heat transfer printing onto T-shirts, batik, video and an imaging process called "Omnicrom" which he has used, perhaps before anyone else has, as a fine art medium rather than as the graphic art medium it was intended to be. Many of Steve's paintings feature landscape. Many long travels in his youth acquainted him with different kinds of scenery and their emotional effects upon a person. In recent years he has adopted a panoramic format to most of his paintings because he believes that we view a real landscape much more horizontally than we do vertically. Rather than looking from top to bottom when we stare at a vista, we scan from let to right, or vise versa. Our eyes are not stacked on top of each other but lie across our faces horizontally. A horizontal format accommodates that tendency and strengthens the power a landscape has to stir us.
