Steven's Family

For now, I offer just the basics....

Wife of 26 years: Veva Silva, formerly a nurse, now a ceramist and Realtor. You should soon be able to see examples of her functional and inspiring creations here. 

Oldest Son: Chris Tavares Silva, an accomplished artist and all around wonderful guy. Check out his amazing artwork here. Lauren Feece, Chris's wife of one year, is also a visual artist; you will find her beautiful work here.

Youngest Son: Eli Silva Feuerstein, a fine guitarist and songwriter. Sorry, no website to offer at this time, but you can listen to him perform for his mom on Mother's Day.

Father: Sheldon Feuerstein, now retired, was an accountant and lawyer for many years. And...an artist! He painted a lot when I was young and got back to it in retirement. Check out his art here. My dad also just turned 80 years old (October 7, 2009). Birthday greetings were offered here.

Mother: Joan Lee Feuerstein. Mom is an organizer (and, well, you know, a mom). She has been active in Hadassah, a Jewish women's organization for decades. If such things are passed along genetically, then I definitely got my organizing capabilities from her! Oh, and her competitive personality and love of games (cards, board games, etc.).

Sisters: just like my dad, I have four sisters and no brothers. Jaye Sela, Shari DeUrso, Laurie Walsh, and Nina Rosenthal. And they in turn have generously provided me with nieces and nephews.

Back in May 1972, I interviewed my grandmother (my father's mother, Rose), mostly about where she grew up and how she made it to the United States.
