Philip Stuttard
Whilst in my early 20s I spent a few years as a freelance cartoonist, often contributing to The Daily Mail.
In 2001, I moved back up north to Yorkshire, and it was while I was surrounded by the beautiful dales and moorlands that I started sculpting animals and tall men in flat caps. These creations quickly evolved into the paintings that I produce today.
I hope that I manage to capture the dignity and pride of the mill, mine & factory workers who all too often lived and worked in such harsh environments, but I also would like to think that could they see my work, it would have made them smile.
Most of my work evolves constantly ... often at a rate that I physically have a problem trying to keep up with. All too often my wife has to remind me to eat and sleep even then I have to fight the urge to sneak out of bed to scribble down a fresh idea!
