Stephen McDonough: A Universe Within

Image is of the artist's logo. The logo is a circle, around the outside it states "Stephen MCDonough Art" and "Original Oil Paintings" In the center is the artist's signature.

Artist Statement

"A Universe Within" is contained in all of us, it’s the embodiment of what makes us us. It’s been cultivated across fields of time reaching from and to the infinite horizons of existence. In this exhibit I share the expression of myself; the things that interest me. It’s a personal exhibit, as art often is an extension of the Artist themselves. This Exhibit is dedicated to my parents, siblings, and Sophia & Guoguo for their love and support.

Artist

I love to create and oil paint. I have what I call an Asian Fusion style. I focus on animal and still life paintings, sometimes combining the two for some unique and interesting compositions, along with doing some figure painting. My background includes a BA Degree in History from The Ohio State University, and I'm a US Army Infantry Veteran.
