Stephen McKee
(1961, Dublin) is a self-taught artist who took up painting
four years ago after collecting art for 15 years.
Among his mentors are artists Cecil King and William Scott.
The main medium Stephen employs is oil
on board. His technique consists of preparing the board
using an oil based preparation and then building the painting
up in layers. Stephen gets inspiration for his paintings
from the ever-changing landscape near his home in Sandyford.
Music and Politics also feature in his work.
A book featuring Stephen's new work is available. Foreword by Sunday Tribune Art Critic Marlene
Lyng. Click
