About me: Steve Scroggins is a multifaceted artist working with a wide variety of materials that include Oil, Acrylics, Watercolor, Mixed Media Collage, Photography and Sculpture. He also functions as a Television Producer, Radio Commentator, Pastor, Poet, Lyricist, Musician, Art Instructor and usually a happy guy.
Steve was born 1950 in Indianapolis, Indiana and raised his early years by maternal grandparents. His Grandfather was a hillbilly from Kentucky who could not read or write yet has proven to be the wisest man Steve has ever known. His Grandmother was a vibrant and kind Cherokee Indian.
With great pride his Grandfather taught Steve the difference between tools and toys. They spent many precious hours together on the back porch “whittling” and practicing the basic skills of sculpture. His Grandfather worked as a Machinist but for extra money installed Wall Paper. As a young boy Steve would accompany his Grandfather on weekends and helped paste and hang these Walls of Paper. This experience instilled in the Artist an instinctive ability to work with Collage and Assemblage and a natural inclination to create art on a monumental scale.
His Grandmother instilled a love of flora in the young boy as they worked together tending the array of beautiful flowers that encircled their small rural backyard. The bright colors and tempting textures are still emblazoned on his heart and mind and often become integral parts of his paintings. Grandmother also taught him to cook, she would say, “Stevie, if it looks good, it tastes better!” The artist has enjoyed applying that concept to many aspects of life.
At the age of nine Steve received his first camera, a Kodak Brownie, and continues to this day as an avid photographer. By his teens he began working in collage, writing poetry and painting with watercolors. In his early twenties, after returning state side from a tour of duty in the Orient with the USAF, the artist began exploring Mobiles and Sculpture in the Calder Style. He went on to study Ornamental Horticulture at College of the Desert in Palm Desert, California and Graphic Design at North Idaho College in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Although Steve spent many years touring as a professional musician, playing Blues and Rock Harmonica, currently his main gig is visual art. "I still believe in New York, Paris and Prague! Look forward to seeing you there!"
Who I'd like to meet: Bob Dylan, Jasper Johns, Carlos Santana, Donald Trump, Oprah, Bagley and Virginia Wright, Eric Clapton, Billy Graham, Buddy Greene.
