Stephen Hogarth
Born June 1979.
As
a non Traditional Aboriginal artist my paintings don’t have a story behind
each one, as with Traditional painting which usually have a story and song,
dance and is more ceremonial, so I don’t call myself traditional for that
reason.
I
get my inspiration from our country, as a traveller I’ve seen most of this
country, I get inspired by the people and the land that we take for granted.
I
have been creative since a child, Drawing was my favourite at that time and
it’s only been in the last 4 or so years that I have taken painting seriously.
The
main reason I paint is to share with others, I’ve had such a big response
its hard to believe for me, with paintings in England, America, Ireland,
Germany, China, Switzerland just to name a few it has taken me by surprise.
I have now just finished a Bachelor of Visual Arts (major fine arts) at Deakin University(2002). Currently I'm doing an Honours Degree at the same university.
