Stephen Wiltshire is an artist who draws and paints detailed cityscapes. He is talented to a point he can look briefly at a building and copy every detail later. He was awarded an MBE for services to the art world in 2006. He studied Fine Art at City & Guilds Art College. His work is popular all over the world, and is held in a number of important collections. When he was a child he was mute and then diagnosed as autistic but his remarkable talent was discovered when he was very young. Drawing was his passion and started drawing animals, then buses and then architecture (which is now what he does best).
