March/April, 2015 ARTIST OF THE MONTH: ISTVAN (STEVE) GAL Steve, a former SAG Board Member, was born in Budapest, Hungary. He immigrated to the United States and settled in the Chicago area 44 years ago. He was full of hope and ambition. Steve attended and received a degree in engineering from Midwest Engineering College. That enabled him to work as a design engineer for many years. Art was always his passion and Steve hoped that he could become a full-time artist and paint beautiful pictures. After retirement, his dream came true. He attended the School of Art at the Art Institute of Chicago and received a certificate and exhibited his work. In his retirement, he is painting his life away and enjoying every minute of it. Steve cherishes the prizes he’s received at many exhibits.
