with a leisure group, Paul then travelled the world extensively for four
years, whilst working for British Airways. After leaving to run his own
successful graphic design business for the next five years, he was recruited
into senior design management roles for prestigious design & advertising
agencies. Following four years in new business development for a division of
Rentokil Initial plc, Paul returned to drawing and painting in January 2000. In his work as a Visual Artist and in various
roles collaborating with other arts professionals, Paul continues to respect
and investigate the traditional studio practice of drawing and painting.
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; Ford
Madox Brown, Turner, Kandinsky, Saryan, Morandi, Hopper, Jasper Johns,
Hofmann, Rothko, Pollock, Slana, Pasmore, Heron and Milhazes. © Copyright of images and content on this
