Steven Plaziak

I am a spur of the moment painter...The diamond light on the water, or a burst of color from changing autumn leaves... My rear-view mirror is frequently a viewfinder and my sketchbook is where each piece begins. Through quick value studies, I develop a roadmap before moving into paint. I work in whatever medium I’m currently exploring—watercolor, oil, or gouache—enjoying the different possibilities each one brings.

As a watercolorist, I’m always chasing light—how it shapes the atmosphere and brings the ordinary to life. Even when I switch mediums, that’s still what I’m after. Steven is an Elected Artist of the Lyme Art Association and has been a member of the Shoreline Arts Trail since 2014. His oil painting Meandering Marsh, Vineyard Point recently received First Prize in the Guilford Art League’s 77th Annual Juried Exhibition. Steven is a graphic designer, an artist, a musician, and a bogey golfer living in Guilford, CT.
