Stephen Barry has been a Live Artist in the Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area and at SOSMP Music Festivals for over 14 years. The exuberance and passion felt from live music is emulated in the allegorical images he creates before the crowds. His relationship with individuals in the music industry and love for live music has definitely driven his passion for live art in that environment. There is no place he would rather be painting than in a crowd of peers, interacting and experiencing the magical and circular nature of live music.
