Steve has been painting most of his life, alongside pursuing a career in industry.A move to East Anglia on retirement gave the opportunity to turn professional.
The coast, landscape and the rich artistic tradition of this inspirational county were the magnet that drew him to live and paint here.
Local artists of the past, such as Edward Seago, have also been hugely inspirational for him.
