Stephen Renard

Stephen Renard was born in Huddersfield in 1947.

Although he was interested in art, and clearly gifted artistically from an

early age, he chose to go to teachers training college at Liverpool

University, concentrating on the sciences.

After an initial career as a teacher, he became a professional portrait

artist and supplemented his income as an illustrator of children's comics.

In 1981 he bought a boat and developed his love of the sea and sailing. He

turned to painting sailing ships and his work quickly became very poplar

with marine art enthusiasts and art dealers. His work is now in great

demand at Kendall's Fine Art and throughout the world at galleries and

auction houses.

Stephen Renard is presently regarded as one of the world's leading painters

of yachting subjects and is widely acknowledged as one of the most rapidly

rising commercial successes in this field. His work continues to be in

constant demand from collectors and dealers and his painstakingly accurate

oils have continued to prove to be sound investments.
