Steve Harrold is River City Art Association’s May Artist of the Month featured in the lobby gallery space of the Vigo County Public Library at Seventh and Poplar streets in downtown Terre Haute.
Along with 5 pieces of artwork, Steve shared:
“I have always had an interest in art. John Laska was my instructor in Junior High and High School and I earned a Gold Key award in the National Scholastic Art Competition.
I received a partial scholarship to the John Herron Art Institute, and graduated with a BFA degree. I was chosen to be a graduate assistant at Indiana State University where I taught drawing and painting classes while earning my Master’s degree.
I work in charcoal and oil paint, and cover a variety of subjects in my work. Primarily I specialize in portraiture, western art themes, domestic animals as well as wildlife. I have eight paintings in the National Bird Dog Museum as well as a variety of works and portraits in private collections.
I belong to several art groups and my work is shown in numerous art shows throughout the region. I have won a number of awards in various shows and have been included in the prestigious Hoosier Salon Traveling Exhibition.
I sell my work to individuals, businesses and accept commissions.”
