Maurice Stratford had already demonstrated a long-standing interest in art when he returned to NIAD in 2001 at the age of twenty-nine.

A quiet young man, Stratford works steadily, primarily in the media of crayon pastels, watercolors, and colored pencils on paper. He begins by creating brightly colored kaleidoscopic shapes in each of these media, gradually developing a style of covering the entire page in various colors of different, every day images.

More recently, Stratford has created works in acrylic paint on canvas. He finds his inspiration from magazine pictures, and then develops his own interpretation of that image. His version is clearly more abstract, using heavy amounts of paint with small, varied brush strokes.

Stratford is very self-motivated and dedicated to his art.
