Paul is originally from Hull in East Yorkshire.
He spent his youth exploring the derelict housing and forgotten industry of his home town. This led to a fascination with the layers of history and time on surfaces, structures and the people around him.
Creating drawings and art in his childhood helped him to escape this bleak landscape
.Paul then followed an arts education through to studying sculpture at degree level at Loughborough Art School ('93-'96).
Returning to art after a long absence, he realised that the people he met on a daily basis began to fascinate him and he would create fictional back stories based purely on a fleeting encounter and first impression.

Paul has shown his work as part of several group shows over the last few years and has sold his work in the UK, Europe and the USA. Currently, his work is continuing the ongoing theme of 'You could be anyone' the contrast between people being both expendable and venerated. In addition to this he is relating the act of mark making, and the use of colour in capturing the essence of a person and divining the story within.
He now lives and works in Devon.
