Item Description

Your home represents a place where you have devoted your energies, attention and love. It is a place filled with family gatherings, memories and dreams. A rendering of your home can help you recall all these important moments. It can also become a source of attention and conversation, as well as a valued family heirloom.

The high bidder will win a Pen & Ink commissioned drawing from Kennebunk, Maine, artist Steven Hrehovcik. His attention to details and technical skills make the drawing of your home a wonderful gift idea. Steve works from photos to create his incredible drawings.

Mostly self-taught Steve looks for creative ways to express the drama and beauty he sees around him. He works in pen and ink, acrylics, charcoal, pencil and colored markers. His subjects include homes and buildings, portraits, equestrian art and pets, scenic views and caricatures.

Steve studied art and design while a theater major at Rutgers University, the University of Miami and Catholic University. Many of his designs found expression as theatrical costumes and sets, which he also built. He has continued his art education at the Maine College of Art and the Heartwood College of Art. On trips, rather than using a camera, he prefers to capture the memories on a sketch pad.

Important visual influences in Steve’s art are Impressionists, Boris Vallejo, Norman Rockwell, Howard Pyle, the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, Al Hirschfeld’s Broadway caricatures and old MGM musicals.
