Meet ALL's November Speaker: Steve Allen

The Art League of Leland (ALL) invites artists and art enthusiasts to its online meeting featuring artist and ALL member Steve Allen as its speaker on Thursday, November 5 from 4 pm – 6 pm. Mr. Allen will discuss how he has been able to blend his artistic talent with his career in engineering as he shares his artistic journey. To register to attend the virtual meeting, email artleagueofleland@gmail.com by October 26. Details about how to join the Zoom meeting will be emailed to registered attendees in early November.

Steve Allen began his artistic journey by doodling cars in the margins of his school notebooks. His choice of an engineering major/fine arts minor in college resulted in a surprising career mix when he had the opportunity in the 1970s to be a pioneer in Computer Aided Design (CAD) in the energy industry. His love of drawing cars has never ceased.

Now in retirement, Allen’s artistic interests also include classic portraiture, animals, landscapes, and interpretive objects using pencil, pen and ink, watercolor, and photography. His computer works have been published in Forbes and numerous Silicon Valley publications. Pencil works and watercolors by the artist have been shown in local art shows, in numerous area fundraisers, and at the Cameron Art Museum.

ALL’s Member Spotlight is on fine art photographer Paul Schreiber, who will discuss the business of selling artwork on the Internet.
