Artist of the week- Steve Hazard
When Steve Hazard entered the military as a young man, he never realized how much it would pay off to have blueprint reading skills from trade school. After studying cabinet-making in high school, this technical skill was exactly what the Air Force was looking for at the time. They needed to train this young man to be an illustrator and graphic designer and eventually

use him to formulate technical illustrations for the shuttle craft. In the Air Force, Steve only began to discover his deep passion for arts of all kinds.
Steve’s graphic design skills translated into a gift for working with ceramics, furniture making, offhand glassblowing and eventually fusing of glass and metals. His talents juried him into art shows all over the United States and led him to explore art courses in Maryland, California and Vancouver. He participated in festivals, contemporary museum shows and solo exhibitions mostly along the West Coast. Out of his studio, he found himself shipping his work consistently along the Pacific shore. More often, however, his work was being demanded further east. The more he began to ship his goods east, the more he desired to move closer to this new emerging market and to broaden his horizons.
