Why I love to paint the sea
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.
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.

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