Born in England 1972 Paul studied fine art and illustration for four years before moving to London to work as a freelance illustrator. Working successfully as a commercial artist he produced a diverse range of work for publishers, including editorial illustration in newspapers and magazines, as well as advertising campaigns and medical illustration.

A change of direction came when he took part in an expedition to Africa. Travelling extensively around Namibia, Zimbabwe and Botswana, he found the open landscapes and limitless skies stretched his painting ability and prompted a re-evaluation of his work. Returning to England his new landscapes were well received in galleries on the south coast. He continued to refine his technique and found himself concentrating more on the use of pure colour in his work by using high quality soft pastels.

The impressionistic style of Paul’s work, and the way in which he uses colour has been greatly influenced by his travels. Inspired by his first Africa trip he continues to travel extensively to undertake landscape commissions and develop projects for print-making. In recent years he has visited Italy, Australia, Africa and Central America, where he spent four months working as an Expedition Artist for a youth development charity.

Paul now works predominately for clients on specially commissioned pieces and also continues to undertake illustration work for commercial organisations. He works continuously on his own portfolio of work to develop his range of limited edition prints, and has sold these successfully world-wide.
