Stephen
Patrick Degan
is a Houston, Texas native, who, after a successful career in the financial services industry, is now nurturing the artist in his soul that has been waiting to re-emerge …
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Pablo Picasso

Stephen’s appreciation of art has over the years found expression and exerted influence on his life in many ways. Together with his natural curiosity, it has inspired a lifelong love for travel all over North America and Europe, to explore the beauty and splendor in nature, architecture and fine art. These experiences and the countless images captured with a very talented photographer’s eye are inspiration for many of his paintings today.
While he has worked in various media, Stephen’s main focus today is painting in oil to capture a wide variety of subjects, including land-/ and seascapes, portraits and figurative subjects and still life pieces.
