"I'm a sky watcher. I'm a curious onlooker.
I study light and the optics of illusion.
I love the art of storytelling.
I love colour.
I'm drawn to patterned intricacies of land
and atmospheric abstractions of sky.
I'm drawn to the mystery of our own existence somewhere in between.
My impressions are presented in oil on canvas.

Steve Coffey has been a full time practicing artist for many years. He has curated traveling exhibitions, created large-scale public sculptures, taught college, and conducted many workshops and art residencies.
After finishing his formal training in 1990 Steve explored formalist metal sculpture but eventually gave in to his love of drawing and representation and was seduced by the immediacy and challenges of oil paint. He began exploring the medium full time in 1995.
Steve has exhibited extensively and his paintings can be found in numerous
private and public collections worldwide.
He is represented by galleries across Canada and in the United States.
Steve's work triggers the feeling of familiarity, that somewhere at sometime the
viewer has seen or felt this, an intimate mystery that lives on the tip of the tongue.
It's accessible for simply what it is, a painting or a song left to a person's interpretation.
