Anthony Stevens

Anthony Stevens is a self-taught artist whose work expresses and processes trauma and its after effects. He works as a Peer Support Specialist.

Anthony’s work is influenced by his practice of Nichiren Buddhism. The Buddhist concept of ‘nothing is wasted’ is manifest in Anthony’s choice to work primarily with scrap fabrics. In doing this, he looks creatively at what may appear to be useless and beyond repair. This process offers a direct correlation with how he strives to understand life experiences; sometimes a painstaking and frustrating process, but ultimately feeling joy and satisfaction with the resulting creation.
