1. Towards Hengisbury Head

A small en plein air study painted from the promenade looking towards Hengistbury Head, it captures a moment caught between sun and rain. Looking back, the piece carries a slightly melancholy air for me, yet its vibrant yellow fills me with profound optimism and energy.

2. Rising

Turquoise & blue bubbles rising to meet the surface and the light from above.

3. Spanish Boat

A yellow boat in the afternoon as the sun sets sparkling it's iridescence on the sea. Inspired by the beautiful La Caleta which is a beach located in the historical center of the city of Cádiz,.A place I have been to many times and often dream about.

The sea runs through my veins.


When I wake up I grab a coffee in my travel mug and head for the coast.

My daily swim prepares me for the day ahead. It has become part of my daily life for the last 2 years.

The sea reminds me of my mother and father who loved Purbeck.

It is a place where I feel grounded and often have inspiring ideas.

My paintings are often associated with the Dorset coast where I live and work.

I am preoccupied with my art as a way to discover and develop. The subtext for my work is transformation and a yearning for the divine.

My goal is to share this with the world.

Words from PJ HARVEY:

"When I saw Stephen’s painting ‘Maypole Dancers’ for the first time I felt in the presence of a magic I had previously known only through music. 

Transcendent and mysterious, I felt it spoke to me with voices from the past, to guide a future.

I had to have it. I had to live with it, as I do now every day of my life. 

I have loved Stephen’s work for years and enjoy seeing him constantly experimenting and challenging himself to move into new areas."
