"‘There is something about the quality of light and colour that you put down when you work outdoors that continually surprises me".SW

"Stuart explores new means of painting outdoors, using a wheeled easel to transport large canvasses to paint in situ. His materials are also adapted to the rapid work this approach demands and a painting technique using pastels and clear medium result in exciting, vibrant, and colourful works. Stuart also very much enjoys his figure work."

Stuart is just starting work on a new project for the River of Art festival in 2009 that will be an exploration, both artistically and physically, of the Moruya/Deua River from its source to the sea..
