Of his artwork, Stephen says: My greatest passion and primary motivation is my overwhelming urge to create art, and to make visionary statements accessible to the widest audience possible. This communicative instinct means that my paintings convey as much to the youngest child as to the most experienced critic, and is why my most popular pictures have such enduring appeal. My style is hard to pinpoint, and it is difficult to associate my work with any genre. Indeed, this pure, almost childlike, way of thinking can be seen in evidence throughout my portfolio, and is the hallmark which sets me apart from many of my contemporaries. The difference with me is that the components originate in my own visionary observations, and it is this imaginative methodology that makes my art form so unique. Critics have described him as a Contemporary Artist, Folk Artist or Outsider Artist to name but a few. He is happy to be known as a Surreal Water-colourist.
