I grew up within the fabled U.K. Artistic Circle dubbed the ‘Bradford Mafia’, as my Father was a prominent member of this group of Artists - Norman Stevens RA. I am also fortunate to have two Godfathers from this circle -
David Oxtoby & David Hockney.
After School I continued my Art Eduction at Chelsea School of Art, London.
However at the age of 24, after my Father passed away suddenly through Cancer, life came along and whisked me off on its all consuming & varied journey of discovery.....
Which led me to the South of France, after being fortunate to meet a wonderful lady, Natalia, who became my Wife (2006) and Mother (2009) to my Son, George.
During this time I rediscovered my love for Painting and started working on a body of work which concentrates on Nature & Emotion.
The works are Oil on large-sized canvas and are based around a selection of wild animals depicting their natural beauty, whilst trying to portray their fragility, serenity and power at the same time.
In 2018, I successfully applied to become a Member of an Art Association within Monaco (‘Comité National Monégasque de l'A.I.A.P. de l'U.N.E.S.C.O.’), who provided me with the opportunity to Exhibit my work at numerous Exhibitions.
I embraced the challenge that this has brought and have had works accepted for the following prestigious Exhibitions ;
‘13e Rencontre Artistique Monaco-Japon 2019’
(Auditorium Rainier III, Monaco) February 2019
‘AIAP Expo "Conversation avec les arbres” 2019’
(Galeries des Pecheurs, Monaco) April - June 2019
‘Oasis 2019 - Osaka International Art Show’
(Osaka, Japan) July 2019
‘8th Beijing International Art Biennale 2019’
(Beijing, China) August - September 2019
‘Exposition - Art & Design pour intérieurs du Yacht‘

‘14e Rencontre Artistique Monaco-Japon 2019’

I hope to be able to add your Prestigious International Art Exhibition to my CV, should I be fortunate enough to be selected.
Thank You.
