Making great art is a deep passion of his, this leads to participation in ‘journeys’ across both land and water and Stephen sees it as part of the ‘human condition’. 

“From this search for peace comes an urge to create.  Not based on thought, but based on feeling.  Feeling, work and more work.“ Stephen finds inspiration in the architecture of Nature.  Inspiration is found from local walks, both here from his home on the Coast at Portland; and West Dorset; where the perspective of this unique landscape is greatly altered by walking up local hilltops, previously occupied by ancient ancestors and all along the Jurassic coastline, which is unrivalled in its variety.  

Stephen’s artwork in both Ceramics and Painting has been described as a ‘Cipher’, a code, which reveals itself through his own personal marks of expression.  Stephen is a teacher with vast experience of leading groups in both disciplines.

 Stephen has extensive experience in teaching Art and Design Technology. He has worked in many schools locally and as an advisor for schools on best practice
