Steven Kelso (b.1965) 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 rockgroup 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 Kerry Livgren (Proto-Kaw), Kevin Max (dc Talk), 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.
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 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 a permanent home for his Windows of the Soul Chapel and is in the process of renovating the chapel with a team of talented assistants. Stay tuned.
