Tim Steward lives and works in Oxford and is presently studying classical drawing and painting techniques at Lavender Hill Studios in London. Over the last year he has been involved in two main projects; the first developing a portfolio of drawings of the iconic Radcliffe Camera in Oxford, a beautiful dome-shaped building, and second, and more recent, focusing on the human figure as a location for discovering and apprehending hope.
Largely self taught, Tim’s 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 Degas and Rouault as well as contemporary artists such as Demsteader, Virtue and Kollwitz. He exhibits his work around the United Kingdom and over the last year has exhibited at Queens College Chapel in Oxford, The Studio Gallery in Henley-on-Thames, Westminster Hall and Alpha International in London. Recent commissions include the Classic Country Pub Design Company, The Corner Club and The Old Parsonage Hotel in Oxford.
