Steven
Townsend is a completely self-taught artist of exceptional talent. Born
in 1955 Steven is married with four children and currently resides in
Lancashire, England.
Prior to joining Northern Editions in 1993, his early work revolved
around Wildlife and Landscape painting. He subsequently changed
direction to his now famous dog pictures that continue to sell out on
publication. After several increasingly successful years, he has
returned full circle adding African wildlife subjects to his fantastic
range of limited editions.
His signed limited editions are one of the most sought after prints on
the market, and have become collectors items, all prints are sold out on
publication. His first large print format print Early Start now retails
for as much as £2500, Rarin' to Go published in July 1998 was on the
secondary market within two weeks, something that has never been
achieved before. Undoubtedly now the top selling dog artist in the UK
his next goal is to become the top selling wildlife artist.
Steven Townsend draws inspiration from classical music; his favourites
being Mahler and Chopin. He has spent much time studying the works of
several timeless, great impressionist painters, particularly enjoying
the work of Peder Monsted and Bruno Liljefors.
His faith has proved to be a cornerstone of his dedication and ability.
Many customers are unaware that hidden in each and every picture he
produces the initials JTC (Jesus The Creator) appear, affirming his
belief.
