Allerton Steele has been head of accounting for ArtSeed and four out of the ten years he has given us pro-bono help because he believes in ArtSeed’s mission and was rewarded with an opportunity with writing scholarships which are a great advantage and asset for anyone interested. As an alert to his many other accounting clients, his real passion is writing! He continues to write short stories, plays, novels, essays and even poems even though he “no longer expects to be recognized in his lifetime”. Let’s recognize him in a reading and book signing at our ArtSeed Cottage.
