Steve Pacek
I am Steve Pacek, a Renaissance man of the 21st century creative revolution and a trusty follower of my heart, for I know that it will always lead me home...
As an artist, I crave creating experiences that surprise, make you feel, whisk you away to another time and place and offer you a kaleidoscope with which to view the world from a perspective other than your own.
I embrace the challenge of a blank canvas in order to find the beauty within composition, form, color and light. I tell stories so that we don’t feel so alone in this world.
I am a teacher who embraces the potential of each and every student and is genuinely in their corner! I try to inspire students to never settle, explore more outside of their comfort zone and live their on-stage lives on the edge! But in order for that to happen, we have to be okay failing. Over. And over. And over again. I try to create a space that makes that better than “okay”...I try to make it a valued part of the learning experience.
