Steven was elected a Member of the RBA in 2003. He is a full-time artist, painting and exhibiting throughout his working life since graduation from Medway College of Art aged 20 in 1973.

Artist Statement:

I always strive to convey a strong sense of mood and atmosphere in my paintings. I want to create an illusion of a reality that people feel they can step into and even lose themselves in. Beautiful and unusual effects of mist, twilight and night are my favourite subjects
