Stephen Silver

Steve Silver is a contemporary oil painter who specializes in landscapes and scenes from nature.  His ideas for paintings come from many sources.   He is a keen observer of nature and spends considerable time looking at the sky and water and photographing scenery.  He has evolved from painting representational/realistic landscapes to more impressionistic, abstract and expressionistic representations of landscapes.  This frees him to create his own compositions from what he envisions in his mind.  The ultimate goal is to create a painting that is aesthetically pleasing, interesting and conveys feeling as well as a sense of place.  The place may be interpreted differently by different viewers, but that just adds to the mystery of the painting.

Steve, a native of New York, graduated from Carnegie Mellon University.  He has studied at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston and has been a student of master artist Tom Ouellette.  Steve's work has been in galleries, in numerous shows and is in many private collections. It can also be viewed at his studio, SilverWoods Studio, located at 450 Harrison Ave. in SOWA, a major artist's community in Boston. Steve will also entertain commissions.

Steve is the founder of the SOWA Artists Guild, an association of studio artists. In addition to special events, the Guild sponsors First Friday events every month.  A lifelong artist, Steve was able to devote full time to his painting after a successful business career in which he was CEO of several high tech companies.

Beverly Woods extensive world travels are the source of the inspiration for her large and diverse body of work.  From the fields of Africa to the delicate figures of Japan, Beverly's reinterpretation of these images often capture native figures from foreign lands brought to life with bright splashes of color "Beverly's painting of the Masai woman transported us to another land and culture" stated David Bowman of Newton, Mass.

Beverly graduated from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland with a minor in art and since then has studied with Paul Wood of Port Washington, NY.   Beverly also has studied at the New York Art Students league in NYC.  She is a member of the SOWA Artists Guild of 450 Harrison Ave.   Bev has lived in Boston for the last three years attending the Museum of Fine Arts School and studied with Marlene Oliver at the Museum School.  Her work is in private collections and has been on display at the Museum School in 2004 and South End Open Studios.
