Stephen relocated to the Texas Hill Country from Houston, and began school at LBJ Elementary School in Johnson City, Texas in 2006. He was previously enrolled in the elementary program at Montessori Country Day School where he had studied since he was sixteen month's old. His multi-sensory learning style is characterized by dyslexia and disgraphia.
Stephen has enjoyed art instruction at the Glassell School of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, though the tools many artists use to draw seem to confound him. He currently is focusing on self study in his own art studio.
Stephen's first solo exhibition was held at Houston Foundry in 2005, titled Six, and featured charcoal sketches on canvas and consisted primarily portraits of imaginary friends and fish. Seven Friends Followed in 2006 and was his second solo exhibition which was held at Kirchman Gallery in Johnson City, Texas. Seven Friends featured a series of female portraits. Seven: A Study in Vultures was also a 2006 solo exhibition held in the lobby of the British Petroleum building in Houston, Texas. For 2007 his solo exhibition Eight - Ranch Life was held at Kirchman Gallery. Spring 2008 brought a stampede of Longhorn Portraits, also with Kirchman Gallery. During the 2008 Holiday Season Stephen's series Five Days will be presented along with other Hill Country Artists and in the spring of 2009 his latest series, Screws, will be shown, both with Kirchman Gallery. .
