My whole life I have painted and hiked the mountains in NY state. The pristine air and clean water transforms me every time I am there.

In summer I show my art in galleries and have had one person shows at the Lake placid center for the Arts and the Olympic Museum. One of my favorite shows is in the beautiful Keene valley at the end of August!

The inspiration of the mountains higher altitude, tall pines and spring fed lakes inspire the appreciation of nature and many paintings.

Please see some of them painted on the location in this restorative place on my website at Steve Kuzma .com and Artofkuzma.

I feel the contribution of my art and music is to share this beauty! On the website one can find panoramas of large works of art over 12ft wide taking years to complete as well as quick watercolors painted on location and in all weather conditions! I have become particularly fond of the beautiful string of lakes from this region and forests. I invite you to see this work under blue mountain lake in progress.

This year I am planning to do the Keene valley show again and the rustic show at the Adirondack museum at Blue mountain Lake.
