Stephen's wife Pamela fell upon this lovely article written about her husband's Solo Exhibit last year.  She was thrilled to find it and hopes you enjoy it.

Stephen Kenneth Hackley is a native of Des Moines, Iowa who moved to Texas at the age of 4. Taking art classes was a beginning for Stephen, but he did not immerse himself into a career as a painter until the mid-90s. As Stephen’s passion grew he felt limited by the properties of standard oil paints. He concluded that to fully express his skills and achieve the desired effects, he would have to mix some of his own paints from raw pigment. This resulted in a wider prism and range of opacity that is captured in his art, factually becoming his signature. 

He earned his title of THE Flower Painter from a curator who proclaimed Stephen as the best in the blossom genre after looking through a collection of his paintings. The name stuck and later appeared in a magazine article. Stephen’s work is a textile of vibrant color, energy and subtle organic textures. There is no escaping his oversized floral renditions animated with sunlight that brightens the bright tones and deepens the contrasts. Shades and highlights collide and the result creates energy quite unlike other flower portraits you may have seen. Stephen’s new challenges go far beyond mere florals. Horses have long fascinated him and their imposing physical presence, symbolism and history have inspired a new wave of works. 

The exhibit is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 10:00 am – 6:00 pm Monday through Saturday and during all public events. The Charles W. Eisemann Center is located at 2351 Performance Drive, Richardson in the Galatyn Park Urban Center adjacent to the Galatyn Park DART rail station.
