Who and where are you from?
My name is Stephen Martyn Welch and I'm from New Zealand.
How you got into this?
I'm a self taught painter and full time now for about 10yrs
What is your driving force?
Everyone deserves a portrait is my motto, its not a reward, its just one person taking the time to get to know another person well enough to paint their portrait.
What kind of work you do and why?
I'd say I paint 70% portraits and then the rest are figurative works and the odd landscape or urban scene. To be honest I don't know how I got into painting I wasn't very good at school with art and it wasn't a top priority for me till I had children. More specifically my middle son who has a mental disability and with that comes some different facial characteristics. And it's here I really started to get interested in how ppl looked from cultures to accidents to DNA, its just fascinating for me as a painter.
