Steve Horan

I produce paintings using acrylics or pastels and also limited edition silkscreen prints. I make the stencils and do the printing myself. The major portion of my recent work consists of nighttime representations of lights or images of the city.  I am interested in capturing basic geometric relationships and if possible, some of the spiritual impact, of urban as well as rural landscapes.
Professional Activities
After serving two years in the Army during the Viet Nam war, I became a graphic designer for a time.  My wife encouraged me to become a full time artist and pursue my dream. I have served as the treasurer of the Midwest Pastel Society and as a juror and board member of the Wilmette Arts Guild. During the last twenty-five years, I have personally maintained gallery representation in New York, Chicago and in many other cities.  In addition, agents and publishers of my limited edition serigraphs have sold hundreds of my prints to galleries and collectors whose names I do not fully know.  I have completed works of art for galleries, corporations and private collectors as far away as Canberra, Australia, where William Pei & Associates, architects, selected a suite of my limited edition prints for installation in a hotel they designed.
Purchase Artwork

Some Chicago area corporations that have acquired my artwork for their permanent collections include the AMOCO Oil Company, Borg Warner, Chicago Realtors Association, Gould, Illinois Benedictine College, Lakepoint Towers, McDonalds, A.C. Nielsen, Schiff Hardin & Waite, UIDC Management and the University of Illinois Research Hospital.
