6. STEVE SLIMM STUDIO
The Upward Drift by Steve Slimm According to transcendental expressionist Steve Slimm, painting is not so much about what you see, but far more about who you perceive yourself to be. And this applies equally to the viewer as well as the artist. The large oil on
canvas shown (P.O.A.) bears testimony to the sublime quality of this mystery. His studio remains open by appointment.
