Stephen Thomas Whittle was born in Leeds in 1953 and studied etching at Chelsea School of Art and Brighton College of Art. He worked as an artist, teacher, and graphic designer in Switzerland and England, exhibiting in galleries throughout Great Britain. His view of nature as a place of harmony and balance was expressed in his early etchings. His sense of color and rhythmic, flowing composition creates remarkable miniature worlds on copper plates. Whittle eventually moved to America with his wife and two children, where he spent his final years using brighter colors on larger pieces, and developed a method of embossing designs around the border of the etched images. Tragically, he passed away from a swimming accident in Lake Tahoe in July of 2000, at just 46 years of age. 

Good.
