& Design; completed Foundation Studies in Art & Design Background and influences After graduating and gaining early experience
with a leisure group, Paul travelled the world extensively for four years,
whilst working for British Airways. After leaving to run his own successful
graphic design business for five years, he was recruited into senior design
management roles for prestigious design & advertising agencies, before
representing a division of Rentokil Initial plc for four years, working in
new business development. Paul returned intensively to drawing in 1999,
painting professionally from January 2000, with his first solo show in 2001.
Although his work is informed by his initial art & design education and
design career background, he has also been influenced by more recent
postgraduate studies in London. His painting style, subjects and studio
practice methodologies have also been inspired by wide experience of travel,
by landscapes, cities, books and films, as well as artists that include;
Kandinsky, Saryan, Morandi, Hopper, Jasper Johns, Pollock, Rothko, Hans
Hofmann, de Kooning and Slana.
