When I discovered Steven's art I was immediately impressed by the variety and depth of his work. I was intrigued by his use of strokes, textures, abstract form, and his use of words in paintings.
I enjoyed his work so much I decided to commission my own work. My piece, 'Festival' captures the atmosphere of an international landscape bathed in Steven's fun-loving strokes and textures, but it still retains an abstract feel. It is a beautiful piece of art that draws your attention to its depth and colour every time you look at it. It is both warm and bold, creating a frivolous and fun feel, and it is my own personal festival.
I think Steven's gift is that he creates art that speaks to you. His pieces invite you to touch them, contemplate them and dive into them. Steven's artworks are wonderfully enjoyable. The process of commissioning my painting was great fun. Steven was personally committed to understanding what I wanted, my experiences, my home and most importantly, as much as he could about me.
I would recommend anyone to visit Steven's website and talk to him about their own personal showpiece, either as a private commission or from Steven's beautiful 'Dix collection'.

"Jen and I both love your work... design and artistic!! I particularly love the most recent work we've acquired Ulysses Blue. It beautifully represents the colour, energy and freedom I try to convey with sound. Your induvidual approach both creatively and technically make for a beautiful style. Thanks so much"!! Adios.

"Just a quick email to let you know (AGAIN!) just how stoked we are with the painting you did for us! Everyone who has come into our house since you've dropped it off has been really impressed by it, and it looks great on the wall."
Thanks again! Cheers, Tim

"We absolutely love your Bellrock painting Steven! It’s already up hanging and every time I walk past it, my spirit lifts enormously. Everyone in the office also loves it. I read your story (and also had a look at your painting) and now I’m pumped. You are a very special person Steven. I could sense it when you were up in my office the other Friday (so could Webby). And then I read this story!!!! Yes, a ‘scary’ illness must really make you look at life from a different perspective – by the sound of it, it’s made you a happier person. Thankyou for writing such a honest/real story. I love it and it will be putting it onto our website for sure."
