Style for Soldiers has been sponsoring Stewart to paint for the last two years and he is developing into an extraordinarily talented portrait artist, commissioned by The Duke of Bedford and Sir John Timpson amongst others and short listed for the RA Summer Exhibition this year. He has been tutored by renowned portrait painter Tim Wright as part of his sponsorship and will be exhibiting his work at the Art in the Aftermath exhibition in November, the aim being to also launch Stewart’s career as a professional painter.
