“My wife said she always wanted to be married to an artist”, says Steve Randall, facing towards one of his works hanging on the walls of Liverpool’s Walker art gallery.
Steve, 55, grew up in Kirkby in the 70s and 80s and later carved out a career in London, first working for Prudential before moving on to Allied Dunbar, Zurich and Openwork. In 2004 he returned to Liverpool, this time as part of the board of a significant financial services company.
This lasted for another 10 years until life turned upside down in 2014. It was then that Steve’s wife, Canan, originally from Istanbul, was diagnosed with an incurable tumour.
