About me
Stewart has been a Printmaker for over 30 years and is the 2024 Creativepool Artist of the Year.
In 2021, he was selected for the 16th Graphica Creativa Print Triennale, where the Jyväskylä Art Museum acquired his work.
He also has work in the V&A Museum Print Collection and has just been selected for The Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair for the 8th consecutive year, featuring also in the Director's Picks from the 2022 & 2024 Fairs. He has also made appearances at the RA Summer Show & NOPE, where he won the Great Art Prize in 2018.
He is continuing his Tree Portraits series from his Dartmouth studio, which began over five years ago in London. Initially inspired by the street trees of his neighbourhood, this quickly became a conversation about our lack of connectivity with the natural world.
Stewart has recently created prints of Joshua Trees from the Mojave National Preserve, which were destroyed by wildfire, as well as those affected by Ash Dieback here in the UK.
Through selling archival prints of his piece 'The Old Man of Calke', he raised over £3,500 for the Woodland Trust. Recent prints from a Woodland Trust tour of Bovey Valley Woods were the main pieces in his successful Creativepool submission.
After graduating in Fine Art at Farnham in 1994, he joined Artichoke Print Workshop, and then as a keyholder at East London Printmakers until 2019.
