STEVE HUYSER-HONIG

Fire and Water Art! welcomes photographer Steven Huyser-Honig. Steve is captivated by the beauty of the Great Lakes region. Beaches and dunes, lighthouses and breakwaters, farms and orchards, forests and streams, small towns and big cities, the gentle touch of nature and heavy hand of industry—all provide an endless source of inspiration for him.

Though his subjects are as diverse as the region we live in, his approach to each is constant. He’s drawn to bold colors, simple lines, and formal compositions. People often remark that at first they thought his photographs were paintings.

Steve’s hope is to share with you a sense of wonder and whimsy at the beauty of our world…and his dedication to preserving this beauty for future generations. Ten percent of every purchase is contributed to an organization working to preserve the lighthouses, land, and water resources of the Great Lakes region.

Steve prints his photographs with pigment inks on natural cotton rag papers—materials and methods that are more environmentally friendly than traditional photographic processes. And unlike traditional color photographic prints, with a lifespan measured in decades at best, this combination of materials will last, with care, for generations.
