About Me:
Renaissance Man …that’s the first description that comes to mind when you look back
at the quarter-century career of International Artist and Author Steven Kelso.
From his work with the legendary lead vocalist Jon Anderson from the progressive rock
group YES on collaborations in stained glass, to his masterfully styled prophetic oil paintings
or illustrations for album cover art, to artistic contributions to the Contemporary Youth Orchestra
of Cleveland for the HDNet Concert Series, or his contributions of artwork to the careers
of Kevin Max, (dc Talk/Audio Adrenaline), Kerry Livgren (Kansas/Proto-Kaw),
Julian Lennon and the Jimi Hendrix Music Academy.
Steven Kelso has lived a multifaceted adventure with an “Extra” part in the international blockbuster
movie Spiderman 2, filmed during one of his annual art exhibitions in the capital of the fine art world
New York, to his exhibitions in France, Italy and throughout the world participating in gallery
sponsored art expositions in Europe to the Far East.
Kelso's work can be seen in museums, galleries and educational institutions worldwide with the latest
edition of his work going on display at the Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle and Art Basel Miami 2012.
Kelso is also the author of three books which catalog the road along the journey with his latest book,
"Windows of the Soul" being inducted into the Nina Mason Pulliam Historical Society
Special Collections Room in his hometown of Indianapolis.
"Windows of the Soul" is considered to be the authoritative account of not only Kelso's life story,
but also gives you a grand view of Kelso's signature stained glass technique.
Today, Kelso has found the location for his long awaited Windows of the Soul Chapel and has been
commissioned by Wheeler Mission Ministries to bring his artwork to complete the renovation effort of
their 2,900 square foot historic chapel in downtown Indianapolis.
My Favorite Quote or Motto:Life is what you make it.
Hello everyone... I'm back here on Beliefnet after being away for 10 years. Feel free to contact me and connect with what I'm working on at the moment. Currently, I working on building my Windows of the Soul Chapel. I've been in the planning stages since the 90's and have now found a permanent place to house the artwork. Here's a link to the project I posted over ten years ago. Thanks. Peace. -steven
