Stephen was born and grew up in Dublin but has been based in London for over 25 years.
He is a multimedia artist and creative who has worked across the fashion, art, music and magazine industries and has styled music videos, commercials and fashion editorials as well as making costumes for stage, film, shows and events.
Stephen is interested in recycling ‘discarded’ objects which are then reimagined as garments, sculpture, art pieces and objects under his ‘After Before’ label.
He initially studied drawing and composition in Ireland and then trained in design in London.
He often mixes images from shoots that he has styled, and photographs taken at events and fashion shows, with painting, surface decoration and distortion.
Primary interests include science fiction, psychology, literature and cinema as well as fashion imagery and classical illustration.
