Steve Sandborg Art Studio

Steve Sandborg Art Studio Plein air oil paintings featuring seascapes, harbors and boats, country scenes and figurative work.

Featured in this website are a selection of fine art prints and lifestyle products based on Steve Sandborg’s original acrylic paintings of tropical fish. Also featured are some of Steve’s landscape and figurative work in oil, available as originals and giclee prints. Steve is passionate about the beauty in the world, and from a very young age was always trying to capture it through drawing, painti

ng or building things. He is inspired by landscapes, colors, shapes, the human form, and in particular, nature’s endless variety of fish life that he has experienced through while Scuba diving. Over the years, he has traveled both professionally (during 40+ years in marketing and real estate development) and for personal enjoyment. His Scuba Diving travel has been particularly inspirational as it has taken him to some of the most spectacular coastal and island locations throughout the world. Most of his work is done in the studio with photo references from images captured while diving and exploring the outdoors. In recent years, Steve has also moved into plein air painting given the influence of the style in his and surrounding communities in Southern California.
