The artwork of Martin Stephenson is a combination of acrylics, lacquers and carved surface. It explores often overlooked wild habitats representing them with the contrast between ephemeral mark making and boldly cut surface.

His woodwork is inspired by the themes and forms of nature; the art and architecture of Dali and Gaudi; and of course the Arts and Crafts movement.  Since starting Stephenson Design in 1993, the range of furniture, boxes and sculpture has continued to develop and evolve always attempting to be pleasing both to hand and eye.

Martin lives with his wife on the edge of Exmoor, in his native North Devon, where the countryside continues to inspire and influence him.
