Steve Dunn

Steve Dunn was born in 1957 and grew up in the University City of Cambridge. He was a pupil at Cambridgeshire High School for Boys, commonly known then as 'The County'.

His favorite subject was art and in his final year he won the school art prize.

His parents both had military backgrounds and when the time came to choose a career he was guided towards doing something in the Royal Air Force.

He enlisted as an aircraft mechanic and later retrained to be an avionics technician working on Jaguar ground attack aircraft from their base at Coltishall in Norfolk.

His leisure time was spent riding and maintaining his much loved motorcycles, mainly Nortons and Laverdas, and in the mid-eighties turning to various Japanese 4 cylinder machinery.

Steve served in several NATO countries during the Cold War and later, as a civilian, worked for British Aerospace in Saudi Arabia at Khamis Mushayt. Looking for a more creative career, Steve then spent the next fifteen years working for a reprographics company back home in Norfolk where he learned all aspects of the printing industry, studio photography and the graphic arts industry in general.

He started drawing and painting again, and in 1997 was commissioned to produce a series of classic car paintings for Pole Position Publishing in Norwich. The same year he created his first on-line art gallery to show his paintings on the internet. With a fast growing portfolio and practical skills behind him, he turned self-employed in 2005 where he could at last persue his childhood dream, to be an artist, and began making a living from the sale of his artwork.

Since 2005 his prints business has steadily grown. Specialising in car and motorcycle paintings he is continuing to produce artwork, not only for himself but also for a number of international clients including the BMW Car Club of America and the Vintage Motorcycle Club in Britain.
