GALLERY
Born in 1969 in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, Paul has been painting and drawing from an early age. He paints a wide variety of subject matter including landscapes, seascapes, still life, floral and wildlife.
'My paintings are the result of many years studying the beautiful scenery that we have in abundance in the UK. I have found watercolour to be my preferred medium to capture the ever-changing mood and atmosphere of the places that I have been privileged enough to live in and visit.'
The beauty of the Pennine landscape where Paul works and lives, particularly the windswept moors, begs to be painted, he spends as much time as he can outdoors, sketching and taking reference photos.
'Although there can be a great amount of detail in some of my wildlife work, some of my landscapes can be very loose and leave the viewer to fill in the gaps with their imagination.'
Paul studied at Halifax Art College and also at Dewsbury and Batley Art College, specialising in graphic design. After which he ran his own graphic design company, until 2007 when he became a full-time professional artist, concentrating on watercolour and developing his own style.
He has exhibited widely since 2007, holding regular exhibitions and having had a large number of images published. His paintings are in collections in this country and abroad. They can be found under his shop page.
