Like John Gurda is considered THE Milwaukee historian, James Steeno might be THE Milwaukee artist. He's at almost every festival and market you can think of. Bastille Days, the Tosa Farmers Market, Cedarburg's Strawberry Festival, just to name a few. His focus is Milwaukee and Wisconsin. He paints the shops, restaurants, buildings, parks, neighborhoods that we hold dear. For Milwaukeeans and Wisconsinites his art is like comfort food for the soul.
With his wife Heidi, The Steenos run the "James Steeno Gallery", an online and pop-up gallery. Their catalog of art runs the gamut of iconic Milwaukee and Wisconsin establishments. There's nature scenes, cityscapes, local landmarks, wildlife, and some very clever puns and imaginations. James' art makes us proud to live here and we are lucky to have the Steeno's as ambassadors of our city and state.
