Born in 1968 in Seattle, Washington, in the lush atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest, Stephen Bergstrom became aware of his artistic abilities at twelve. Initially, films were an avenue of learning: Stephen drew, sculpted characters and observed the effect of lighting and composition through directors, and the black and white films of the thirties, forties and fifties. His grandfather, a prolific painter, writer and engineer, instilled a curiosity, ethic and artistic expressiveness that bolstered Stephen's growing passion for art. Entering his first competition at sixteen, Stephen won "Best of Show" at the 1985 Washington Regional Art Show, resulting in the sale of the first of many paintings. This spurred him to combine his talents in sculpture, photography, painting and computer graphics, although painting is his primary focus. In 1988 he graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle with a degree in Visual Communications/Graphics and Illustration, leading him to an eight year career as an editorial illustrator for magazines and newspapers, storyboarding for TV commercials, and creative consulting for film directors. Stephen Bergstrom's method of representing nature, consideration of aesthetics, and range of brush strokes, with carefully balanced color harmonies and decorative effects, are triumphant. Collectors indude corporations: United Chambers Insured Plans-Bellevue WA. The Paper Company - Seattle, WA. P.F. Industries-Kirkland, WA. and private collectors worldwide. |
