Born in Detroit, Michigan, Steel grew up on Miami Beach, then just a small fishing town. Fishing and small boats were an early interest, still evident in his art today. When he was six-years old, his mother noted his talent in art and started art lessons for him with Miss Brooks, then at the Associated Artists art shop.
The artist studied ten years with Dutch portrait painter, Sam Jafnel, who worked for many years painting portraits at Jenny Grosingers Resort in the Catskill Mountains; at the age of 16, Steel took private lessons from Russian impressionist Leo Braschansky, and then became an apprentice and student of muralist Warren Soned. With Soned, Steel helped paint many of the art deco murals on South Beach.
His high school was a vocational art school, where he studied with Kenneth Bare, who advocated the ideas of Nickoliades. He subsequently studied at: The Ringling School Of Art, Sarasota, Florida; The Academia De Bellas Artes; El San Fernando in Madrid, Spain; and the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, where he earned a B.A. in Art.
Steel has painted in a variety of locations, including: Miami; Sarasota; Madrid; Lengries, Germany, in the U.S. Army; and presently in Coconut Creek, Florida. The person that has influenced Steel more than anyone else is writer Ayn Rand.
The artist's ethnic make up is a hodgepodge of almost every ethnicity in Europe, from the north to the south. Steel's wife's family, the Van Loven's, were cousins of the Van Gogh's. Steel's father was Barron Le Blumste-- something (changed at some point to "Bloom"). Achievements and talents include beating Blindfold World Chess Champ George Koltonowski at the age of 11 and learning to play the flamenco guitar at an early age. On the guitar, he accompanied members of his family, and he still plays gypsy flamenco for local dancers.
Steel has held jobs as commercial fisherman, boat builder, bridge tender, bronze foundryman, art teacher, mural painter and art restorer. He was married in 1966 to his beautiful model. They are still married, and she is still his beautiful model, appearing in many of his paintings. They presently reside in Coconut Creek, Florida, and have one daughter, Roxanne, and a granddaughter, Violet
