She was part of an exciting group of artists that included Bob Baxter, Charles Reid, and Chip Chadborne. Throughout my college and working years I followed my passion for painting in venues that were available wherever I happened to be at the time, including: The University of Colorado, Boulder, CO. The Art Students League, New York, NY The Torpedo Factory, Alexandria, VA Numerous Workshops from artists like Wolf Kahn, Janet Fish, Charles Reid. Professionally I made a living as an account executive for a large magazine/catalog printing company. That industry was a playground for exploring the science of color. There I learned a lot about the additive and subtractive color mixing processes, and gained insights into the physiology of human color perception. With this awareness you can appreciate how light affects color and how mixing and applying color affects the colors you see. For years was associated with the Torpedo Factory Art League and The Torpedo Factory Artists’ Association where I was juried into many monthly shows. My one man show at the Art League took place October 2020. Here is a link to the show: “Across the Gorge and Other Spaces Between”. https://stevemoen.com/woodwork-and-frames daily 0.75 2020-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/1599059354461-2X7S6RGYNY1YQMZYH1PV/87683C78-8EB8-4539-A7D7-E900E77E8161_1_201_a.jpeg Woodworking - Stretchers and Frames Most canvas paintings and paintings on tin flashing include my woodworking skills. I make many of the stretchers and frames. The frames are floater frames. When constructed from pine the insides are painted. The exterior is stained with a home made stain made from steel wool and vinegar chemistry which brings out the tannins in the wood. Finally the frames are sealed with a matte lacquer finish. https://stevemoen.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Contact https://stevemoen.com/artist-statement-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://stevemoen.com/recent-work daily 1.0 2024-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/14b081c0-dbf0-4f17-816b-3bc6649ec644/IMG_3565.jpeg Recent Work Potomac Still Life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/0526c05c-e800-4cea-9ede-4434e21ed699/IMG_3208.jpeg Recent Work Vineyard Rows Marching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/5e39088e-0469-4162-8f4f-010612c262eb/IMG_2027.jpg Recent Work Arizona Tree https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/0473d795-fd40-4361-9d36-c7550036cfe4/IMG_2031.jpeg Recent Work Looking Toward Sherwood Island https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/cb06e9b8-f412-495a-aa5f-5176d6df5e2a/IMG_2024.jpeg Recent Work Along the Billy Goat Trail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/80afac6c-1816-41c4-a2ff-b0e91b788796/IMG_2070.jpeg Recent Work Looking Toward Compo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/46bd3667-02a3-4416-a24b-dec013e44bc7/IMG_2033.jpeg Recent Work Sherwood Island Pier https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/3431ff63-7f71-4a45-9dba-bbaa56efa2f4/IMG_2008.jpeg Recent Work Westport Marsh Looking Toward Compo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/78a11fa4-463b-4472-a698-8b4be4c88ac2/IMG_2098.jpeg Recent Work Westport Marsh Early Spring https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/bf17dc3b-3542-424a-b2e9-4b81cd43fdf9/IMG_2094.jpeg Recent Work Frozen Westport Marsh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/d6dd908e-ad39-4f3f-8748-5d944c51fcca/IMG_2100.jpeg Recent Work Two Low Tide Pools https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/1723487076857-O4QNO1H8Y9OG7DRQIT9S/DSCN2572.jpg Recent Work The Point at Compo https://stevemoen.com/new-page daily 0.75 2025-04-26 https://stevemoen.com/small-paintings daily 0.75 2020-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4b9352594e4e310819f7e5/1599142083430-1U3SW04WA9QWK9CWY946/BFEFDB9E-6150-4117-B40D-DCCACE26AB55_1_201_a.jpg Small Paintings + Haiku - Down to Up This Way to That Down to up Up to down And this way To that way.
