Stephen has assisted numerous artists with monumental commissions earning him a reputation for monumental work., as well as the understanding and ability to answer to contractual obligations at a very early point in his career. This has continued to be a factor as he has received numerous commissions for totem poles, assisted on many large scale projects including a replica Kwak-waka-wakw village for a theme park in Holland, and he has completed a solo exhibition for the Derek Simpkins Gallery of Tribal Art.
