Skip Steinworth lives and works in Stillwater, MN, an historic river town on the outskirts of the Twin Cities along the St. Croix River, a designated National Scenic Riverway. His interest in art began very early on; by his mid-teens he was selling work in local galleries. After earning a college art degree in the early 1970's, he and his wife taught art in Melbourne, Australia. They returned to Minnesota and both began careers as full-time studio artists. 

     For a number of years he produced hand-printed lithographs, drawing images using special grease pencils on prepared limestones which were then etched, inked, and printed from a manually operated press. Gradually, he returned to his first love, pencil drawing, the medium he has worked in exclusively since then. 

     His drawings have been exhibited in shows throughout the country. Over the years, his work has been represented by art director, Louis Newman, at the Louis Newman Gallery in Beverly Hills, California and the MB Modern Gallery in New York City, by Michael Hackett of the Hackett Freedman Gallery in San Francisco, and currently by Karen Jenkins Johnson at her Jenkin Johnson Galleries in San Francisco and New York.

"Steinworth is able to offer a tour de force control of tonalities. The viewer never has to stretch to read these compositions: there is an ease of verisimilitude that causes austerity to give way to richness."
