Thoughtful Skies, Calm Seas
Growing up amid the vibrant waves of Honolulu, Hawaii, Steven Craig Holmes forged a lifelong bond with the water. His aquatic adventures began early, rowing his 10-ft. skiff to school, a testament to his adventurous spirit.
Beyond the waves, Steven seeks solace and expression through the strokes of his brush, finding inspiration in the realms of oil and acrylic painting. His canvases come alive with seascapes, landscapes and urban vistas imagined from his mind's eye, capturing the essence of Tonalism, Impressionism and Abstract art forms.
