The driving force behind his latest body of work stems from him experiencing “pure insight and clarity” since his psychological collapse, which led to an enforced stay at a mental health in-patient unit in Radlett. Stephen began to produce art work using nothing but a biro, as a means of survival and a route to recovery.

Hugely influenced by the work of Francis Bacon, Stephen offers an insight and a visual guide to the reasons behind his development with regard to knowing what he likes, needs and wants in order to successfully blend all three with the medium of ink.

Whilst in the unit, Mind staff recognised his talents and encouraged him both on the ward and at discharge, to exhibit his work in order to inspire others.
