Episode 45: Stephen Remick

Stephen Remick was born and raised in Vermont. He received his Associates's degree in Architecture from Vermont Technical College. Steve moved to New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1982. He received his BFA in Painting from the Swain School of Design in 1986 where he met his future wife, Anne Carrozza. Steve Remick worked for a year in Boston at Jordan Marsh's in-house design firm but couldn't endure the commute. He went on to start a painting and paperhanging company. Steve, his family, and the business moved to Dartmouth where it grew that business to a dozen employees. He and Anne have raised a son and daughter who are now adults. Steve slowly reduced the size of his business to one employee – Steve Remick – to concentrate on his art. Although he mostly paints landscapes and abstracts, he returned to Plein air in 2016 and, most recently, due to the pandemic, has executed portraits of COVID-19 healthcare workers which have gained a significant amount of attention. He was featured in an article in Artscope Magazine for this body of work. Listen in on the conversation as The Artist Index's host, Ron Fortier, speaks with Steve Remick about his life and work and how the pandemic has affected him as an artist and much more.
