Stephen has worked for museums and universities for around thirty years and still carries on this work as a natural history conservator and preparator complimenting his main interest and specialization in palaeobotanical art work. At present he is working on a body of work for a future exhibition of fossil leaves from the Tertiary Period which are housed in the National Museum of Scotland. These were collected from Spitsbergen in the late 1800s and early 1900s by the explorer Bruce. The illustrations of the Tertiary Period fossil leaves will go on display at the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh starting in May 2009. Contact Telephone
