Only The Lonely Painting

Born in 1960 in Salina, Kansas, Steven Allen Boggs resides in Hendersonville, Tennessee. He studied at the Nashville School of Art, The Scottsdale Art Institute, and at workshops with Nelson Shanks, Gregg Kreutz, and Michael Shane Neal. Boggs' paintings are in private collections in the United States, Canada, and Europe. He has won "Peoples Choice" awards, and has been a finalist in the "Top Ten in Tennessee" show by the Portrait Society of America. Boggs paints still life, landscapes, and portraits, and is an artist that is truly dedicated to his craft. He paints daily with a focus on subjects that he is close to and feels a connection with. Using a palette of rich earth tones he paints in layers to build up natural color and create solidity in the objects that he paints. The finished works are realistic and refined, but with enough loose brushwork to allow the viewer to engage their imagination while looking at the piece.
