The Tasmanian landscape inspires this man’s artworks – many of which celebrate design in Nature with (at times) a surreal element.
Born in Hobart, Tasmania, in 1950, I developed a passion for drawing inherited from my father.
I graduated from the Tasmanian School of Art in 1971 as an Art Teacher and worked in seven government schools before retiring in December 2005 to pursue a greater focus on my art.
During my time as a teacher I managed to practice my art where and when possible.
As well as being a producer of art, I am currently the Curator of the Mezzanine Gallery at Country Club Tasmania; an art judge; and art reporter for ABC Radio, Northern Tasmania. I also conduct art workshops.
I began exhibiting in 1976 with the Tasmanian Independent Artists’ Group.
Besides many solo exhibitions, I was a member of the former Tasmanian Abstract and Contemporary Artists’ Group (Vice-President).

Art for Steven
