STEPHANIE CAVILL, YOUNG BRITISH ARTIST

Stephanie started painting as soon as she could hold a stick. At 17 she discovered a passion for oils. Inspired by the paintings of Francis Bacon using her friends as models and chipboard to paint on she began her first collection of figurative works. Under the guidance of Ian Wilton she began to produce some interesting early works.

The Artist was only born in earnest when she inherited all of her Grandmothers watercolours. Inspired by the memory of her Grandmother she began to paint small landscapes and religious icons.

When she started to paint figurative and abstract works in watercolour she discovered she could sell these pieces to fund her coffee habit. Gathering success her first large commission was for the window of a bar in her hometown. Her developing style used a combination of Bacon-esque large brushwork and perfectionist detail drawn from her work with watercolours.

Stephanie is at the beginning of what is shaping up to be a very exciting Artistic career, if you are looking for an investment in modern art her paintings will only increase in value as her Art and Career mature.
