Tim Steward lives and works in Oxford and studied classical drawing techniques at Lavender Hill Studios in London. Over the last year he has been developing his portfolio of architectural and figurative work, as well as working for ‘Classic Country Pub Design’, producing drawings for the interiors of public houses around the country.

His style is very much a product of his working method, engaging with the subject directly and applying paint, ink, pastel and raw pigment with confident mark making. He is interested in portraying a human touch, sometimes passionate, sometimes light, risking everything in the moment.

Tim is inspired by the immediacy and expression of work by the likes of Degas and Rouault as well as contemporary artists such as Demsteader, Virtue and Kollwitz. He exhibits his drawings around the United Kingdom and is becoming increasingly renowned for his energetic and confident style of working.

Permanent displays of his work can be found at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford; The Old Parsonage Hotel, Oxford; Kingsway Music, Eastbourne; Baptist Union, Didcot; The Red Lion, Oxford; The Encore, Stratford-Upon-Avon; and Bathampton Mill, Bath.

Previous exhibitions include Westminster Hall, London; Alpha International, London; The Smithfield Gallery, London; The Studio Gallery, Henley-on-Thames; O3 Gallery, Oxford; St Aldates Church, Oxford; Christ Church College and Queens College, Oxford.
