“EVERY PAINTING
TELLS A STORY AND CAPTURES A SINGLE MOMENT OR THOUGHT IN TIME.” - Myra Steward

From the artist,
"Art is an essential part of my everyday life, trying to incorporate it in
all that I do. I had dreamed of painting since I was a little girl. After
reading the book, The Artist's Way, I finally gave myself permission to try
painting. It is now my passion!"
Myra is a Master
Painter member of NCA, Northern California Artists, and she has been accepted
into juried art shows throughout California and has won multiple prizes
including being the featured artist for the 2015/2016 Lodi Sandhill Crane
Festival. She is also a member of Santa
Clara Watercolor society, and she has also contributed numerous volunteer and
served on the NCA board as the courtesy chair.
The mediums and subject
matter Myra uses are varied. She works
primarily in watercolor and mixed media. Myra's favorite new method of
watercolor is using handmade papers and canvases to paint on; she also enjoys
painting a variety of subject matters, but she especially likes to paint birds
and animals. Myra's style is to always
paint with a limited palette of just one blue, one yellow and one red, keeping
herself challenged to create as many shades of color as possible!
The pandemic has brought a lot of change
to Myra’s life; she and her husband Steve moved from the Sacramento area to the
Bay Area to be closer to their son and his family of four. “It’s been an
adjustment moving away from friends, but the huge bonus is living down the
block from our son and his family. My art is changing as I live my new life.
It's very exciting to feel as if I’m experiencing life through the eyes of my
grandsons.”
