While in Chicago, Stevens was accepted into numerous prestigious juried art shows, including the Chicago Botanic Gardens Art Fair, Catigny Art in Bloom, and the Geneva Fine Arts Fair. At every art show, Stevens demonstrates glassblowing using a portable bench.

He specializes in lampworking using borosilicate glass and draws much of his inspiration from nature. Techniques he uses include fuming, compression work, implosion, and blown glass art.
