Steve Silver, a Brooklyn-based artist (b. Bronx 1947), began his career writing poetry. After studying in Universidad Ibero-Americana in Mexico City and Adelphi University in New York, Steve taught in the English Department at Hofstra on Long Island and acted as a visiting artist at Escola Massana in Barcelona.
In 1977, while hitchhiking from Mexico City to Lima, Silver had an epiphany riding atop a coal truck, a realization that he was going to become a painter.
Silver’s background as a poet and his affinity for language manifest in both the content and form of his visual expression. Da Vinci's dictum, "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt," underlies Steve's work. Words, letters and numbers often appear in his work.

In a 10,000 square foot building in Forney, Texas, the Steve Silver Company, an import furniture business specializing in dining sets and occasional furniture, was born. Today, the company encompasses over 500,000 square feet of facilities, has grown to over $150 million in sales and employs over 500 people not only in Texas, but in China, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. Silver’s business philosophy reflects the same drive and competitive spirit he learned in the wrestling room, “Provide the best quality product at an irresistible price, back it up with uncompromising service, and continue to improve every day.” He began as a high school wrestler in Spencerport, New York where he won two sectional championships, in 1972 and 1973. He didn’t plan to wrestle in college, but soon changed his mind and walked on at the University of Alabama under Coach Pat Milkovich.
