Dix born 1970 (Lismore, Australia)
Youngest of 4 children, while Steven's eldest brothers were enrolled at traditional
state schools, Steven and sister Suzanne
were enrolled at the controversial Gabbinbar State Primary School. "Gabbinbar
was a new school with teaching areas designed
for innovative practices such as open-area teaching and with students drawn
from a population which was more
professionally oriented and with some students whose histories in their former
schools suggested behavioural or
social or psychological problems. Added to this was a school Principal who
was passionate in his educational
beliefs but who challenged more conservative principals less willing to be
innovators." (Ken Imison)
For the most part, Steven grew up within a more industrial environment only
a breath away from Toowoomba's Yeast
factory, Rail links, Tennis Centre and
Base Hospital. Raised by his single mother Daphne from 1978, boredom was all
the
budget of the 70's and 80's could afford, driving Steven into the arts where
he created his own world,
at times transforming his own bedroom into
a world of art with spiderweb ceilings and wall to wall pop art.
He indulged
in painting, music and craftwork to escape the
drudgery of the outside world.
Steven has been an innovator and creator all his life. Remarkably using his
abilities in most disciplines to earn a living
from his talent. Steven has
successfully combined artistic abilities with financial stability marrying
digital art and a
career in the music industry. Being a full time artist has
always been a reality with the recent embrace of
other disciplines in a Bachelor
of Arts in Applied Theatre at Griffith University (2005). Steven's energy for
the creative
has taken in work the entertainment industry through a number
of expressions from painting, set design,
CD artwork, music writing and producing,
photography, motion pictures, acting, theatre, websites and more....
Recent events have allowed Steven the fortune of living and working out of
Teneriffe, working out of
Florence Street continues to create and develop his
own style of abstract expressionism.
Recent Cancer scare ingited the painting bug into a new level.
"after many years of coming and going, to and from the canvass I feel
the time is finally right to
consolidate my life onto canvass in an ongoing
basis." DIX 07
