Michael Steddum’s passion is in painting
everyday scenes of the dogs we love and enjoy. Michael Steddum is a
self-published artist with more than 100 limited edition prints to his
credit. His work is collected around the world. He has produced numerous
commissions for companies such as Field & Stream Apparel and Vance Creek, as
well as private collectors in the United States and abroad.
Michael Steddum was born in California, and he has always possessed a
passion for drawing and painting. He joined the United States Navy in 1984,
and was an Illustrator during the later part of his enlistment. After the
military, Michael worked for a gallery in San Diego, California. He started
there as a sales consultant, and worked his way up to a manager moving to
Minnesota.
In 1990 Michael went full time into art, accepting personal commissions to
paint portraits of individual dogs. He moved to Prairie Farm, Wisconsin in
1998 where a hundred year old farm house nestled in forty acres became his
studio. It was a dream come true, where his Gordon Setter, Razzie could run
and work the woods looking for grouse. Michael believes that “an artist’s
life is a process and not an event”. He often says “it took only twenty
years to become an over night success."
Michael Steddum’s art is available at a variety of gift shops and galleries
internationally, as well as on this website.
