HSHSL’s Weise Gallery is hosting the exhibit “Steven Waugh: Darkness and Light” March 28 – May 15, 2026.
Steven Waugh is a self-taught painter from Baltimore whose work has been exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Baltimore Museum of Art. After a successful career as an I.T. Software Engineer and the raising of four talented children, Waugh returned to a life of full time painting. The black and white oil paintings that Waugh creates feature classic cars, objects from nature, and portraits of movie stars from the 1920s. Waugh states, “At times, it feels like color detracts from the reality of the subject, in a drawing, painting or photo. There is a depth of richness in the contrast.” Through his attention to contrast and detail, Waugh hopes to capture “a defined moment in time and place.”
