Goldsmiths College London
B.A. Hons and Postgraduate Diploma 1972-77
Lives and works West Yorkshire and Yorkshire coast

One of most sought after specialist trompe l'oeil artist, muralist, and specialist decorator, while his drypoint etchings reflect his narrative paintings, fussed with wit, and equally a masterful technique.

Recently Paul has begun to spend more time on his individual studio work and his collaborative ventures with his wife Chris, including, making films, performance and installations.
He is inspired by pattern, decorative effects, chiaroscuro and the fantastic.
In his paintings, drawings and prints he is able to tell a story or bring to our attention the hidden beauty or excitement of the mundane. He works in virtually any medium, from charcoal, etching and drawing through to oils and acrylics.
