For over thirty years, Stephen Tomasko has been creating photographs, collages, mail art, drawings, and paintings about the American experiment, examined through the dissection of its history, life, and landscape. In his practice, high and low culture continually collide. Examples of his work are held in permanent collections throughout the world, including the Smithsonian Institution Archives of American Art in Washington, DC., Museum Schloss Moyland, Bern, Switzerland, the Karuizawa New Art Museum, Japan, and the Akron Art Museum, Akron, Ohio. Recent shows include ‘Stephen Tomasko— Loyal To The Lot’, the inaugural solo exhibition of the Paul Brown Museum at MassMu, Massillon, Ohio, ‘A Book About Death’ at the Islip Art Museum, Long Island, New York, ‘Mother Tongue’ at the Griffin Museum of Photography gallery in Boston, Massachusetts, and ‘Stephen Tomasko—Historic Figures’ at Snow College in Ephraim, Utah.

Tomasko serves as the director of the Little Gallery at Bowling Green State University, Huron, Ohio, and is the selection committee chair for Ohio's AST artist grant and residency program. Stephen is the recipient of an Individual Excellence Award and grants from the Ohio Arts Council. He presented an artist talk as part of the first FRONT International Triennial at the Akron Art Museum and a monograph of his work, 'Delira + Excira', was published by the Shanti Arts Press. He holds a BA in Art History from Bowling Green State University and an MFA from the University of Delaware. He currently lives and works in Akron, Ohio.
