Stephen
Park
Wildlife Artist
(b.1953) Birmingham, England
Influenced by the famous artist John Constable, Stephen first
set about painting landscapes and seascapes, from which he
took some of his very first commissions.
In 1980 Stephen decided to extend his art
to wildlife, although it was not until a trip to Kenya in
the late 1980s that his passion was awakened to the true beauty
of this subject. “There is a very special feeling when
you actually experience these animals in their natural habitat”,
and so it was that Stephen embarked upon painting these magnificent
creatures.
The experience he has gained over the years
painting such animals has now led to the inclusion of that
most elegant of sporting animals – the racehorse. Many
trips to racecourses all over the country photographing the
action over jumps and the flat have enabled Stephen to capture
this majestic animal at its best.
He has had many commissions from the USA,
Australia and Europe with his work found in many leading British
art galleries
Original art work from Stephen Park is available at York
