About Steve Gorman 

Whilst predominantly self taught, Steve studied for a short period at Julian Ashton’s School of Art in Sydney. His current focus is on landscape and figurative compositions. Whilst working with traditional techniques Steve is constantly pushing the boundaries of his paint creating his unique style which is expressive and technical.

He has won a number of first prizes including the Dean Cogle Portrait Prize in 2023. He was recently shortlisted as a finalist in the 2025 Dust Temple portrait prize, the 2020 Lethbridge 20000, gallery finalist in the 2021 Lethbridge Landscape and 2020 Clayton Utz art prizes.
