About the Artist
Steve Lotz
Steve Lotz was UCF’s first art instructor in 1968, and the Art Department’s first chair until 1978. Prior to joining UCF’s faculty, he taought at the University of florida and at Scotland’s Edinburgh College of Art. Lotz’s large commissioned paintings hang in many private collections and public buildings including Orlando International Airport, Florida solar Energy Center, Universal Studios Florida, and Walt Disney World. With the increasing use of color, the forms and symbolic content of Steve Lotz’ work becomes light, free and joyous. He creates images of a “Spiritual Garden of Delights” - a visual world that suggests both sensual and spiritual fullness. He does not want to offer a vision of despair to society, nor does he want to confirm cynical values. Lotz sees the world as a radiant place and his art celebrates that sense of radiance. Mr Lotz resides in Orlando.
