Stephen Crawford - contemporary painter
Stephen Crawford
Becoming an Artist was never an option until 15yrs ago all due to a friend, my friend gave me no option but to go with her to an art class after which I never looked back, my journey to this point was long and never would i have believed i was anything but artistic material, It was not something that i chose rather it chose me. Being an artist is not a job, vocation or a means to an end, it comes from within a passion or obsession that just must be brought out and created for all to see.
There has been a few reviews this year in two different art magazines
https://theartworldpost.com/stephen-crawford-found-by-art-held-by-obsession/
https://artmusexpress.com/standing-tall-in-the-storm-the-art-of-stephen-crawford/
These reviews were written by Ann Williams, who seems to sum up some of my art and me a lot more eloquently than i could do.
I also have a bio available on https://www.brush.bio/stephen-j-crawford this has several links to my website, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, and links to more about me. also below is a link to a presentation bio

Statement
During my working life i have had many different jobs varying from Painting and Decorating, Gardener, Security, woodland work to door-to-door sales repping.
I have a variety of qualifications from City and Guilds in Painting and Decorating to Nebosh Health and Safety.
Unfortunately, due to an industrial accident and the decreasing mobility i have not been able to work from 2007 onwards. Due to this i started painting on oil and canvas around 2008, until 2016 this was just a hobby at an art class run by the WEA, from 2016 my artwork took on a more serious turn bordering on obsession and therapy.
