About Steven Lester

Storied Past. Colorful Future.

Steven Lester is a seasoned, contemporary, narrative artist who has painted internationally in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, India, South Africa, Canada and the Caribbean. His subjects are informed by the aggregate of my varied life experiences. As American filmmaker, George Lucas said,

“Narrative is one of the oldest and most important impulses in art. It is also the most popular form of art. Tracing the arc of narrative art reveals how culture is created, reinforced, and then compelled to evolve.”

 Steven’s work is in demand by major corporations such as McDonald’s, The Coca Cola Company and REI COOP, and can be found in the collections of major universities, athletes and private individuals across the globe.

 He is recipient of the United States Sport Academy (USSA) prestigious International Sports Artist of the Year award. He was also awarded the American Sport Art Museum and Archives’ (ASAMA) “Zhenliang He Cultural Medallion”.  Steven is a 2020 Executive Fellow in the Clark Hulings Fund’s Art-Business Accelerator Program and has won more than 100 national and international awards.
