Stephen Mccall

Stephen was born in Ontario, Canada but spent most of his childhood in Venezuela and Bolivia, South America. He attended a boarding school located high in the Andes mountains and spent summers in the Amazon jungle where his parents lived and worked as missionaries with the indigenous Araona tribe. Stephen had a passion for drawing and painting very early on and sold his first original when he was 14. Since that time he has sold hundreds of originals and commission pieces with his art displayed in homes and businesses throughout Canada, United States, Mexico, South and Central America, Europe, Vietnam, and Thailand. He works with various types of media including acrylics and watercolors but graphite and charcoal are his media of choice.
“I haven’t had any art training, done any art shows, or even entered an art contest. Other than commission pieces I just draw for me. I see something and get an idea or picture in my head and just start drawing. I have found that if you are passionate and bring some emotion into your work... the story... that is what art is really about... well, people will see that and feel it. Starting with a blank sheet of paper or canvas with simply an image in your mind, then bringing that idea to life...

Stephen is a self taught artist and has had no specific or formal art training or education.
