Homegrown Talent: the Art of Steve Sopko
A lifelong resident of Manville, Steve Sopko draws inspiration from the town that has shaped both his life and his creative journey. After graduating from Manville High School, he pursued studies in commercial advertising at a local art school, where he honed his artistic skills and developed a keen eye for visual storytelling.
Brooke’s art reflects a deep appreciation for process, texture, and the interplay between traditional and experimental forms. Her pieces invite viewers to engage with both the tactile qualities of print and the narrative possibilities of mixed media.
