Steve Paterson

Steve Paterson is sculptor who works primarily in clay and wax and specialises in figurative and portrait work. Steve’s earlier ornamental pieces are in collections all round the world and his more recent portrait studies and private commissions have been winning high acclaim and commendation at various exhibitions.

His portraits from life are based on intense observations and he endeavours to capture the personality and individual mannerisms of each sitter and is fascinated by the endless possibilities presented by the human head in its infinite variety.

His working style is influenced by early to mid 20th century Scottish portrait sculptors such as Benno Schotz and William Lamb.

Steve is currently working toward a one man exhibition – “Hagiography”. A series of portraits using friends and acquaintances as analogies for actual, obscure and occasionally fictitious saints, as well as a number of private commissions.
