  1. Stephen Wiltshire

  2. Stephen Wiltshire Who is he? Stephen Wiltshire is an artist who draws and paints detailed cityscapes. He has a particular talent for drawing lifelike, accurate representations of cities, sometimes after having only observed them briefly. He was awarded an MBE for services to the art world in 2006. He studied Fine Art at City & Guilds Art College. His work is popular all over the world, and is held in a number of important collections.

  3. Stephen was born in London to West Indian parents on 24th April, 1974. As a child he was mute, mute basically means he didn't talk and he didn't learn to, and did not relate to other people. Aged three, he was diagnosed as autistic. He had no language and lived entirely in his own world.

  4. At the age of five, Stephen was sent to Queens mill School in London, where it was noticed that the only pastime he enjoyed was drawing. It soon became apparent he communicated with the world through the language of drawing; first animals, then London buses, and finally buildings. These drawings show a masterful perspective, a whimsical line, and reveal a natural innate artistry. Eventually because of his school life he had to start speaking and he starts muttering and his first actual word was “paper” when he was 5.
