Steven was born in Omagh, Co Tyrone but in his early years moved
to a rural area of Co Fermanagh near Ballinamallard.
He was educated at Ballinamallard Primary School and Portora
Royal School, Enniskillen. During these years Art was one of his
stronger subjects having achieved 'A' standard at GCSE and later
in his A level examinations.
Steven continues to put this talent to use at the University
of Ulster, Belfast where he is presently studying a Design degree.
He is also a talented musician who plays the piano, accordion
and cornet.
Steven specialises in pastel where he creates images of stunning
beauty, drawing on his artistic talent, his love of natural beauty,
and his innate sense of design. While he has worked in a variety
of media-pensil, pen, colouring pencil - it is pastels that have
most recently captured his creative imagination. The soft gradient
of pastels gives him immediacy of application which allows truly
spontaneous creativity with the use of the vibrant colours he
loves.
