Steve R. Coffey – “I've always been drawn to the world of visual art as far back as I can remember. My first semi-distinct memory was of a freehand sketch of the Friendly Giant I created that was greeted by my Mother's enthusiastic approval. I've also been drawn to music. My father was a traveling musician that rehearsed next to my basement bedroom. It was pounded into my childhood brain.” “A tube of paint for me is like a rock and roll friend. The one you can hang with all
night listening to vinyl records. You get to know them through their dynamic in how the rhythm moves them but every so often they'll surprise you with a jazz improv request. I've used music as my language in describing painting over the years.”
