Synopsis

With no formal training, Steve Skipper has broken down walls of racism in the world of fine art. God radically saved Skipper when he was a member of a notorious Birmingham, Alabama, street gang and immediately his life was transformed. Focused on his new-found faith and his talent for painting, Skipper faithfully seized opportunities that only God could have provided and he quickly began gaining notoriety in the sports world for his meticulous artistic style of super-realism. Now, Skipper is continuing his journey, painting the stories of the pioneers of the Civil Rights movement, including celebrating the pilgrimage of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Bimini, Bahamas where he wrote his Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech. Recently his work has become a part of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Belafonte’s collection and he is focused on formal commissions from the Bart Starr Family and Ambassador Andrew J. Young.
