Mal Stewart

Im a self taught Artist, born in Ashby de-la-zouch, Leicestershire in the year 1956.
Art was my one thing I was good at as a kid growing up. I am the eldest of six children, four boys and two girls. life wasn't easy, my father was a plasterer by trade, my mum an housewife, who did part time jobs to make ends meet. my dad would do jobs after work, and I was his labourer.
we would go coal picking in all weathers waiting for the coal trucks to be emptied, the train driver would tell dad which truck was best to pick.

I enjoy painting all types of art, and all mediums.
the only thing I shy away from are human portraits, I do pet portraits for commissions.

I attended Ashby Ivanhoe high school.
no formal qualifications, Ieft school at the age of fifteen.
to bring a wage into the household.

I am a member of the local art club.
West Norfolk Artist Association, and have exhibited in local exhibitions over a number of years.
