BIOGRAPHY

Tim Steward was born in 1975 and works as a full time artist in Oxford. He is largely self taught and is currently resident artist at the Ark-T, a community arts project based in Cowley.

His work specifically seeks to capture a sense of the spiritual.

'My focus seems to revolve around expressing those moments where one is taken onto a higher plane away from the mundane - where the line between what we experience on earth and that which is of a more heavenly nature is blurred...The interface is mysterious and engaging and the moments more abundant than I first imagined.'

Integral to Tim's work is the expression of freedom both in the context of his style and subject matter.

'The more I work from life the more I find myself seeing more intensely, expressing what I feel more intuitively...risking everything in the moment. It seems to be the only way forward...I am interested in the rawness of the picture, in portraying a human touch, sometimes passionate, sometimes light.

Commissioned work includes; The Corner Club, The Old Parsonage Hotel, Wycliffe College and Church Mission Society in Oxford; Kingsway Music, Eastbourne and Prescence in Watford.

Recent exhibitions include Queens College and QI Bar, Oxford. Tim also exhibits work with the Meller Gallery in Witney.
