About Steven Hagy
Biography
I studied with Enrique Montenegro, learning a great deal about color and brush work. I also studied with Richard Meyhew, learning what he liked to call the "Color grid" during my time at Penn State. I admire the work of the social realists in particular Philip Evergood. I also love the work of Maurice de Vlaminck and Oskar Kokoschka. I taught Lithography for several years at Towson University as well as painting, drawing and watercolor at Penn State.
Very simply I love color. The interaction of one color next to another. I love things that excite my eyes color does that constantly. Weither it's bright and bold or soft and subtle, color. Someone said to me, "Stunning! I love how many colors you found in this scene". I replied, "So many different voices all screaming for attention"
