“Can I get a copy of your price list?”
Steadman’s answer is:
“There is no price list. Every portrait project is different. No two clients have ever wanted the same thing. There is no typical ‘sitting fee plus print package.’ If you are interested in a truly special custom portrait for you or for someone you love, simply call me after reviewing this website and let’s discuss what you want me to make for you. That costs you nothing but a little time and it makes sure you get what you want. Call now and tell me what you have in mind.

Why can’t I buy a photo from the website?
This basic website was created as a convenience for you in order to provide general information about the Steadman Uhlich Fine Art Collection (SUFA), Steadman Uhlich (the Artist), and to answer commonly asked questions and requests for general information. There are over 350 unique portraits on this website and 180 in another linked online portfolio and 50 Global Favorites (see link in upper left of this page)!
A complex website showing many photos of the hundreds of artworks available for purchase is under construction and will replace this website when it is finished.
Because of the extent of the Steadman Uhlich Collection, it is a big project and takes time to create. We do not sell artwork via a website so the Studio needs are different from many other businesses. We invite you to meet the artist in person to see our extensive collection and the original artwork framed.Art gallery visitors are impressed and we are confident you will be too. We invite you to read the “Comments from Visitors” (click the links on the left of this page) to give you an idea of what you may see when you see the SUFA Collection.

I called directory assistance and looked in my phone book and could not find a listing for Steadman Uhlich. Why?
The SUFA Studio phone number is 205-317-7832 and is a wireless number and consequently unlisted in the telephone directory or in directory assistance. This is the phone number you should call for all voice communication. This is the number on our business cards, brochures, posters and website.
I called the above wireless phone number several times and never got an answer. Why?
The fact is that the Studio gets many phone calls during the day. The first priority is to meet with potential clients who are actually interested in art or a portrait. Please leave a detailed voicemail message and we will return your call as soon as possible but this may be a few hours if Steadman is traveling, conducting photography sessions, or meeting clients.
Does the gallery work with interior designers?

Can I arrange a private showing of the art at a time during or outside of normal business hours?
Yes. We make every possible effort to make it convenient for art collectors to view the art prior to purchase. If you have special needs due to work or travel schedules, please call and let us know. Please be aware that if you call and do not receive voicemail, it simply means we are helping another client.

Will Steadman Uhlich travel to conduct a portrait session at the client’s home or out of state?
Yes, that is possible. The quality of the finished portrait is still at the highest levels and no one can tell the difference from a photograph created in Steadman’s studio. In fact, many of the portraits in Steadman’s Portfolio were created in a home, apartment, or place of business.
Can I sell or represent The Steadman Uhlich Collection in my area?
Yes, that is possible. Qualified art galleries and art dealers can sell or represent the hundreds of beautful artworks in The Steadman Uhlich Collection. Call to ask how.
Does Steadman Uhlich use or need models?
No. Steadman Uhlich does not use models. All portraits of people are “commissioned” portraits where Steadman has been paid to make the portrait using his unique styles and skills. Duplicates of some of these portrait images (especially the “Art Style”) are available for purchase by art and photography collectors. All people portrait images have a “release.”
Can I have a photo or art custom-made to a special size for me?
Yes. Steadman Uhlich often makes artwork and photographs to the size needed by a client or designer. How big can this be? They could be big enough to fill a bill-board you see on the highway. Size is not a limitation. In fact, some of Steadman’s fine art photographs have already been made up to 60 inches tall and they are “stunning.”
