 Stephen Felstead was born in Romsey, Hampshire in 1957 and moved to West Cornwall in 1990. For many years he worked at sea in the Merchant Navy and living in Mousehole, near the fishing port of Newlyn, it was inevitable that he should end up as a fisherman.
It was whilst in this line of work that he became particularly impressed by the colourful boats filling the harbours of the Islands. It was from this that he took his inspiration for his pastel boat paintings.
Although Stephen has had no formal art training he has always sketched and painted and in 1998 found that his pastel paintings of boats attracted interest from local galleries.
He has previously exhibited in many galleries around Cornwall and the South of England including Turn of the Tide in Teignmouth, The Bluestone Gallery in Wiltshire, The Great Atlantic Gallery in St Just, Duke Street Gallery in Newlyn, Springtide Gallery in Bath, Barkhouse Gallery in Newquay and Bakehouse Gallery in Sussex. He has also sold a wide range of work to an equally wide ranging audience from all parts of the world.
