Biography
Stephen Mirich was born in 1954 in San Pedro, California and began competing and exhibiting in art events regularly by the age of fifteen. In college, he briefly studied architecture, then focused on a career in fine art. He studied under the noted artist, Theodore N. Lukits (1897-1992) at the Lukits Academy of Fine Arts, Los Angeles. He also studied privately with Julian Ritter (1909-2000).
Mirich gained national recognition with his marine and historic maritime paintings. In 1995, he started to focus on landscape painting en plein air. Stephen Mirich often sketches and paints from nature combining his enjoyment for the outdoors with his love for art.
