Paul was born in Derbyshire and moved to Devon as a young boy where he collected a series of awards as a Junior Artist.

His first job was as a pottery designer and he quickly moved on to become an illustrator for the South Devon Scene, a local newspaper based in the internationally renowned art college at Dartington Hall near Totnes. Paul became an immediate success and was commissioned to produce pen and ink drawings for clients in the publishing industry.

Paul is incredibly passionate about painting and, in recent years, he has moved towards using oils and mixed media, creating wonderfully atmospheric and vivid landscapes full of life and drama. He has achieved international recognition for the quality and clarity of his work, as well as his use of dramatic light to create truly atmospheric pieces.

Paul creates his work in his home studio in Ferndown where this tranquil setting provides the perfect environment for him to demonstrate his techniques and connect with collectors and art enthusiasts.
