The Birth Of Lalune Cafe Gallery of Glastonbury

Artist, Step Shurman, is gaining public attention for his thought provoking portraits of the good and not so good in our society.

Goldsmiths trained, Step had significant success and sell out London exhibitions in the 90s. Step worked with Spitting Image and Mad Magazine and his work graces the boardrooms of the likes of Live8, The Big Issue and Terence Higgins Trust Lighthouse and several celebrities own his unique portraiture. He’s exhibited alongside Hockney, Nash and Flanagan in London’s Cork Street.

Step teamed up with partner Loretta and together they run a café/gallery in Glastonbury, Lalune. Their life mission is to revive traditional mediums amongst the younger generations.

With the increasing attention Step is receiving for his work, and an imminent return to the national art scene, the couple plan to use his success to establish art schools, link up with local schools and promote their 'Paint not Pixels' campaign.
