Steven Scheibe

(American, born 1967)

Artist Steven Scheibe creates artworks in a variety of media, including painting, printmaking and etched glass as well as textile, music, and light installations. Natural patterns, materials, and imagery inspire his work. He states, "All that is visible is evidence of the invisible. The order of the physical world is brimming with stories of invisible things. My intent is to visually amplify the voice of allegory revealed through natural form."

Scheibe grew up on a lake south of Olympia, Western Washington, left to study and travel, and now lives there again. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (1989) in graphic design from Washington State University in Pullman, Eastern Washington. In 1990-91, he traveled to Cote d'Ivoire in West Africa to work in graphic design publishing books and music in French. In the summer of 1997, he studied art and theology at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
