Steve Quartly from his studio in Southern California creates impressionistic
oils on canvas, specializing in seascapes and cityscapes. Quartly's dedication
to painting the world he sees, has contributed to his vibrant works. A plain
white canvas becomes a beautiful European city scene, a Mediterranean seascape
or a warm California Landscape. Quartly began oil painting at age 13, demonstrating a love of life,
nature, color and form. Raised in the Northern California Coast he was
surrounded by the beautiful scenery and the inspiring city. There he studied
oil painting under a mentor painter. Painting portraits and landscapes for
others would be the start of his passion for painting. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art from Azusa Pacific University
in 1996. As a student, he was honored by being asked to paint a mural on
canvas for the Marshburn Memorial Library Solarium. It was this project that
solidified his desire to pursue fine art. Quartlys' work is now showing at some of the most prominent galleries in
the United States, from La Jolla and Laguna Beach to beautiful Carmel. He has
participated in many shows. Among them, the Orange Plain Air Paint the Town
Show where he took "Best Of Show", LA County Fair Museum Exhibit and the Los
Angeles Design Showcase. Quartlys' energy and devotion to each painting is what makes him
unique. His design in composition and color is meaningful and skilled. The
loose and whimsical brush strokes and pallet knife work brings passion and
emotion. His overall philosophy is faith in God and a desire to express the
beauty in life. "My hope is to bring emotion to the canvas, a sense of remembrance and a
time of quiet reflection."
