Peterson, Steven Delano

Adopted. Graduated the North Dakota School for the Deaf, 1984, and studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology College of Fine and Applied Arts. After finding his birth mother in 1991, he realized his lifelong interest in art was inherited, he being descended from generations of woodworking artisans. He divided his time between his dormitory counselor job at the North Dakota School for the Deaf and doing woodworking art through his Designs by Delano studio.
