About the Artist:
Stephen Warnes was born and brought up in north east Lancashire. He completed his very first painting at the age of six and hasn’t stopped since! His passion for railways developed between the ages of eight and fifteen and coincided with the end of the great age of steam.
Over the years, Stephen Warnes has gained a reputation for producing accessible modern paintings. Often intricate drawings that focus on fascinating social histories, he creates some of Britain's finest railway art.
As well as a high level of technical skill, Stephen has an Honours degree in the Theory and History of Art and in recent years has held public exhibitions to showcase his masterpieces.
Stephen was elected a full member of the Guild of Railway artists in 1994 and he has exhibited nationally at the GRA’s ‘Railart’ exhibitions.
From Gibsons:
As with all Gibsons jigsaws, we use 100% recycled puzzle board, FSC paper and work with the best artists from all around the world. The beautifully illustrated pieces are designed to fit perfectly together; in fact, we use the thickest puzzle board on the market.
We’ve made some positive changes to our processes, so you can be sure you’re getting the same great puzzles and know they are kinder to the environment. Not only does the box have a fresh new look, but we’ve used biodegradable clear labels to secure the lid instead of shrink wrap, reducing our plastic waste. We use vegetable-based inks too. The gloss coating on the box gives extra protection and the puzzle pieces are stored in a plastic bag that can be recycled by most councils.
Because the box is slightly smaller than our previous designs, we need less room to transport our products which reduces our carbon footprint and means you can store your puzzles more easily. We have also popped an artwork poster inside for you to reference whilst you piece together your lovely jigsaw puzzle.
Puzzle size is 68x49cm when complete.
