Steven Felmore
Illustrator and Artist
I am inspired by drawing and painting Nature, and the results are shown here in illustration portfolios and art galleries.
The Illustrator
Steven Felmore is a versatile, multi-disciplinary illustrator and fine artist known for richly detailed, hand-crafted work. He combines traditional techniques with digital media to create illustrations with depth, precision, and character.
His portfolio ranges from refined depictions of wine estates and fruit for packaging, to humorous editorial pieces, as well as architectural, technical, and medical illustrations. At the core of his practice is a commitment to craftsmanship—whether working digitally or building images through layered, traditional processes.

The Artist
Sir Kenneth Clarke: ‘I have never seen anything quite like your work before … not derivative … original.’ .
Eldred Green: “Gems of texture, balance and colour … he certainly has something to say.”
Alongside his illustration career, Steven has maintained a lifelong dedication to painting. Working primarily in oils on canvas, he uses time-honored methods of glazing and layering, guided by his principle: quality without compromise.
Inspired by nature—particularly the Fynbos biome of the Cape Peninsula—his ongoing Fynbos Suite explores the atmosphere, light, and emotional resonance of this fragile ecosystem. These are not strict botanical studies, but personal, sensory impressions of place and moment.
The project has also extended into music, with a commissioned guitar and choral composition by Dr. Avril Kinsey, creating a dialogue between visual art and sound.

Steven accepts commissions, with selected works featured in his gallery.
