His work is motivated by a strong desire to communicate and express visually something beyond words or spoken language, however serious or playful his approach and subject matter may be. Steve's art has been exhibited in juried, solo and group shows and small businesses throughout the Northern Virginia and DC region, as well as in Japan, Greece, and the UK. He has also been featured and published in a handful of physical and online artist publications and books during the past several years, including Stickerbomb Monsters (Laurence King Publishing\/the SRK), Comme Des Garcons 2014 fashion catalog, Tokyo, Japan, Wild Ocean (Fulcrum Books), and District Comics (Fulcrum Books) .","editors":[{"emailAddress":"steveloya72@gmail.com","label":"Stephen
