About the Artist: Steve Edwards, known by his Hispanicized name “Estéban,” was a prominent artist from El Paso, Texas. Born in 1942, Edwards spent his life creating art that reflected the cultural influences of the U.S.-Mexico border. He graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1964 and studied under Dr. Robert Massey, refining his expertise in printmaking. His works, often exploring Native American and Mexican cultural themes, gained recognition across the Southwest. Edwards was a high school art teacher until his retirement in 1992, at which point he fully dedicated himself to his art. His works have been featured in galleries such as the Hal Marcus Gallery and have been collected by noted patrons, including Maureen Ponce Singleton. He passed away in 2010, leaving behind a legacy of culturally significant and richly detailed art.
