Steve Lingham - Wildlife & Nature Artist

I was born and raised in the North of England, I relocated to Texas, USA to be with my wife and fellow artist, Julie Asher, where we paint from our studio, ‘Studio 714’.

I have been painting and drawing for the majority of my life, and in 1995 decided to take the steps to sell my artwork and have been doing so ever since.

My passion for birds is evident as the majority my portfolio contains the subject, from passerines to raptors, game birds to tropical.

​Since moving to the USA, my personal discovery of ‘new’ environments and species has increased my passion and I am planning to portray these subjects in forthcoming work but will very much continue to paint my beloved native species for my European collectors.

​I have used a variety of painting media - acrylics, gouache and the occasional pencil drawing, but have finally settled upon oils, which allow me to attain vibrancy in colour and texture.

I am known for the meticulous attention to detail in my paintings, and although can be very labour intensive my work is still rich with light, atmosphere and movement.
