Stephen Tippett

Stephen Tippett began painting as a hobby during his second year of university. After working as a life model for several art schools, he decided to study art formally and was accepted into the Certificate Program at PAFA. After two semesters, he realized he was allergic to oil paint and solvents and retreated to his home studio, using water-based acrylics. Stephen's work harkens to days gone by, depicting farm, village scenes, and scenes of France where he lived for several years. His work is always an interpretation, done in a naive and primitive style with a graphic design quality to it. Stephen is a retired university professor, musician, and published composer.
