Paul began his creative career in the Graphic Design and Illustration industry, studying at Brunel College in Bristol and then going on to work for several leading design and publishing consultancies for 25 years. This experience covered many disciplines, from packaging, literature and point of sale to children's book illustration and website design.
Regarding painting he is self taught, but has always maintained that it is the strong foundation in drawing from observation passed on from his father Brian that has been vital in terms of learning to 'see'.

Bringing this extensive design and drawing experience to his painting he has been a full-time artist and popular tutor for many art groups since 2003.
