THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST

PRESENTS

STEVE THOMSON- I am a Rochester, NY based wood artist that specializes in realism. After 25 years in corporate graphic design and marketing, I fell in love with woodworking as a hobby. Through experimentation, I started to create sneakers and portraits out of wood without using any paints or stains. My pieces take hundreds of hours and created out of exotic wood species that represent colors. I took on my art full time in 2020 and have been able to create pieces for Pau Gasol, PJ Tucker, Julius Randle, Kevin Durant, Nike, and the Chicago Bulls.
