A little bit about me...............
I’ve had talent for drawing & painting from an early age and only seemed logical, after leaving the Berkshire College of Art & Design that I should consequently spend many years working in office interior design!! Well, since that part of my life came to, largely, a premature end I have been pursuing a career as an artist / illustrator which is probably more suited to my abilities.
I am gradually building a client list primarily within the publishing and editorial disciplines, at the moment and I am as happy illustrating the figurative aspects of the human form as I am with, say, the more rigid demands of the architectural. If the brief allows, I like, where possible, to add some humour to a subject.
Some recent clients include:-
Macmillan, Hodder & Cornelson ( through ODI Oxford )
Bracknell Town Council
Bracknell Forest Borough Council
Allen Associates ( Architects )
University of Reading ( Psychology Dept.)
Ultimate Driving School, Newbury
Freya Design
Evergreen Magazine
Numerous private commissions

Exhibitions: South Hill Park Arts Centre, Bracknell & Moondogs Art Cafe, Reading

We run Ultimate Driving School in the Newbury area. I am fed up of buying inadequate and quite frankly useless teaching aids from Driving Instructor magazines. I needed some illustrations of cars, pedestrians etc. to use to create clear and concise pictoral teaching aids. I searched online and came across Steve's website which shows many examples of his work. I cannot recommend him highly enough not just in terms of his artwork, but also in the quick and accurate response to emails and queries along the way. Thank You very much and as I have already said will be in touch soon for some more....?

Steve has an amazing talent that spans photorealism through to what one might consider a more impressionistic style. The painting of our house is simply stunning. ( see Commissioning art - Houses )
