Steve Reeves

I have been exploring the sublime rugged landscape of Wales ever since I was a child; now that I live here the fascination has only increased.

Stiles are the gateways or portals to discover new adventures.

As you leave the present world behind you are confronted with new environments such as forests, fields, moors and mountains. These habitats that were once familiar to our ancestors are today alien to the way we live our lives, enslaved by the culture of modern society.

Alone on foot you are at the mercy of the elements and the terrain, also the fear of getting lost, injured or attacked with only the glimpse of the next stile to give you hope, determination and direction. This is an experience our ancestors would have been aware of when their journeys passed the threshold of an open stile.


I started an evening class in art at Wirral Metropolitan College and worked my way from A level to a B.A Hons in Fine Art.
I am currently employed as a Learning Support Technician and Tutor within the art department at a college of further education.
