"Stephen Scott Young was raised in St. Augustine, Florida, where he attended Flagler College, studying printmaking and watercolor, and earning a prize in American Artist's national competition in 1985. His mature style, which focuses on the realistic depiction of people in his area of Florida and the Bahamas, particularly black children, has been compared to many American masters from Winslow Homer to Andrew Wyeth."
