But Steve Walbridge's early interest was  in visual arts (drawing and sketching). After having spent many years pursuing his other artistic passion, music - becoming heavily involved in the local and national music scene, working in radio, writing for multiple music publications and promoting concerts throughout the eastern half of the United States - Steve has now returned to his first love of visual artistic expression.   

Taking classes at both Springfield Technical Community College and Westfield State, Steve has also studied with renowned artist and sculptor, Gregory Stone at the Hill Art Institute in Florence, Massachusetts. Steve continues to study oil painting under Greg Stone as well as with watercolorists Beverly Duncan, Rey Milici and Walter Cudnohufsky. 

Steve works in oils, watercolors, pen & ink and graphite, and exhibits a wide range of interests and expressions:  portraiture, landscapes, impressionism, and non-figurativism.
