Painter Steven Mark Finley Jr. lives and practices in his hometown of Birmingham, AL. Born and raised within the inner city and greater Birmingham area, Finley developed his love for drawing, painting, and the arts at a very early age. Graduating from Hoover High School, Finley went on to earn a BFA in art from the University of Montevallo. Finley is now extending his expertise full force into Birmingham’s creative community. He currently practices within the creative space known as Common Place Woodlawn and slings coffee as a Barista with Domestique Coffee at their Panache location in Five Points South. When Finley is not painting or slinging coffee, he is lighting up someone’s dancefloor under the stage moniker, Stevo Blaque.
