Steven Warburton is currently working (in Emerald) and exhibiting in Melbourne, Australia. Since completing a Fine Arts degree at Monash University, Steve has exhibited widely, in group and solo exhibitions. His paintings and drawings are held in collections Australia-wide and internationally.

As an artist's work is a reflection of his or her emotions, ideals, thoughts and influences, it is necessary to understand the importance the work plays in the artist's life.

My current work features evolving imagery from work of the past few years, where I have been delving into the changing world and how humanity is either “evolving” or maybe, de-volving.
There is an intention in my work to show change through inspirations from human history, environmental, as well as stories and photos of my family’s history.

Steven Warburton.
