For over 30 years Stephen Blancett has worked in the advertising and publishing industries, as a creative/art director for clients ranging from Citi Corp to Disney. “I love the business, but creativity is sometimes limited by a market, product, or theme. My fine art gives me the fuel and freedom to express myself, my feelings, and my individuality. It allows me to be me,” says Stephen.
He started painting and winning awards for his work at the young age of seven. His paintings are in the collection of notable celebrities, and in corporate and private collections around the world. His work has been featured in numerous publications and exhibited in galleries in the U.S. and internationally.
Blancett’s paintings have been exhibited in Miami/Art Basel; New York; London, England; Vienna, Austria and Strasbourg, France. Recently his work was featured at the New York Art Expo, Shibuya Station Exhibition in Tokyo Japan, and in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, where he has a second home and studio. Stephen has been published twice in the International Art Books, Contemporary Masters Collection.
