My name is Roy Stevens. I have been an artist and art teacher for many years both in America and in Europe, and, with my wife and partner, Beverly, I am an owner/operator of Artistic U Creativity Center in Port St. Lucie, Florida. My formal art training began in my youth at the prestigious Art and Design Institute in New York City and continued with many very accomplished artists/teachers throughout the United States and Europe. Professionally, I have taught, lectured, demonstrated, had gallery shows, and conducted private training and workshops in the United States and in Europe–notably in Spain, Italy, England, Portugal, the Canary Islands, and aboard many cruise ships such as Royal Viking, Norwegian, and others too numerous to mention, and have made six crossings from the U.S. A. to Europe. In addition, some of my background includes "Therapeutic Art" as I have worked with many mentally and physically handicapped children and adults within hospitals and institutions and have even taught people to paint with their mouths, their heads, and their feet. I have taught many show business celebrities and my paintings have been on display in numerous exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe and are represented in many private collections. As an artist, I structure my passages in such visual terms as Pattern, Transition, Harmony, Tone, Rhythm, and Color, and my subjects are drawn from my extensive teaching and travels. I am known for having developed my famous "Four-Step Guide to the Magic of Acrylic Painting" |
