About

My name is Steve Traversi and I was that kid that kept having to wash desks after school because everything was my canvas.  I began sketching in my early teens and started working in graphic design for high tech firms in my twenties. 

Working in high tech, I found I had a talent for IT and would go on to hold executive positions for a number of companies. Along the way I would develop a love of painting and photography, passions that helped to keep me quasi-sane while climbing the corporate ladder.

My commercial design work has been featured in trade publications, periodicals, published works, and digital platforms for clients all over the world. My paintings have been sold through curated marketplaces, and placed in artist competitions.

Over the years, my style has evolved from a foundation in abstract and expressionist to Italian inspired pieces. My techniques and medium have changed as well as I've embraced oils over the last few years while jumping back to acrylics for faster, more spontaneous pieces.
