Steve Capper - Painter

From the age of eleven, Steve Capper attended Manchester's High School of Art, followed by the Manchester College of Art, and then Bretton Hall College. As head of a large art faculty in a comprehensive school, Steve taught painting for thirty years. He then took early retirement to concentrate on producing his own work.

Steve both lives and works in the Pennines, and it is these hills that have had a major influence on his work. The hills and valleys, together with the man made environs produce simple, individual shapes, which combine to form more complex images. Moreover, the shapes and patterns provide an ideal vehicle for Steve's work with colour; his use of primary colour both enhances and emphasises the fascinating aspects of this special environment.
