ABOUT THE ARTIST

If power, passion, glory and the sheer excitement is what draws you to motorsport and Aviation Art, then the art of Noted Artist Steve Harper is for you.

Steve is an established artist whose work has been highlighted by Television, Radio and Magazine interviews.

He has Collectors of his work world wide from the United States and Canada to Hong Kong, Not forgetting to mention a loyal following of collectors at home in the UK.

Steve says:

" Its great to meet collectors of my work whenever we hold exhibitions or if I'm asked to make presentations or doing a signing event. All the Collectors of my work are very special people . It's great to be able to share my art work with people from all walks of life and from different countries and backgrounds. My work is very individual, and so its far more personal to each of collectors as each painting tells a story. I have so many wonderful letters from our collectors who see their own story in each of my paintings. It might be that they served with the Aircraft I portray in my works of art, A special memory of a racing Driver, a gift for a loved one, A Company or charity presentation. Or maybe it's simply a chance to sit and loose ones self for a quiet moment in of a one of my paintings. So many of the wonderful letters I have received from our collectors and meeting so many special people inspires me even more to put brush to canvas."

Steve says "" My roll as an artist is not merely to put paint on canvas, but to tell a story that draws the viewer into the scene depicted.
