Team & Experience


Stephen Canneto

Stephen is dedicated to creating art that beautifies the environment, celebrates life and the human spirit – by instilling feelings of meaning, identity and connection to each other.

Stephen's relationship to sculpture is rooted in a love of nature, constructing things, and a fascination with the tension between nature, humanity and technology.

From 1994 - 2010 Stephen was the Founding Director of ArtSafe; a Service Media foundation which used the arts as a vehicle to transform and save lives of young people. Its programs enabled youth in prisons and inner-city schools to heal from the impact of violence, discover their talents and vocational identities empowering them to become productive community members.

Stephen's works are in collections in the US, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Israel, Russia and Spain. They include art for corporations, institutions and residences, inspirational public spaces, functional furnishings, and architectural detailing.
