Stephen Coates
Stephen Coates was born in Sheffield in
1960. As the son of a draughtsman, he
was introduced to drawing at a very
young age. He excelled in art at school
but chose a career in retail, working
first in the music industry for 16 years
followed by another 16 years running
his own catering business.
Stephen decided to return to painting a
little later in life and chose to specialise
in watercolours. He gradually developed
his own style and unique brand of
teaching. In 2011 he traded his
sandwich business for a career in art.
