Hello...

Born in Bristol, Paul pursued an art education firstly through a Foundation Course at the Bristol Faculty of Art and Design and subsequently moved on to gain a BA Honours degree in Design at Middlesex Polytechnic in 1988.

His main body of work, the Tree series, is an example of Paul’s strong graphic style. Silhouettes are the epitome of graphic design and illustration, as they help visually communicate any object clearly by the simplest of methods. The variety and interesting outline of natural forms, in particular the tree, are emphasised by the use of the silhouette. Paul’s knowledge and research into colour is equally important and he has exercised this in his work.

Based in Kent his collection of work continues to develop and expand with new projects for fashion and home wares and private and public commissions. Significantly, new metallic screen print collections, featuring birds in flight were created recently for his one-man show in London – ‘The Birds & the Trees’. He is represented at major art galleries and shops throughout the British Isles and abroad.

Recent highlights have included exhibiting at The Affordable Art Fair in Bristol, participating in The London Design Festival 2009, featuring on Channel 4 Grand Designs this year and in many publications such as World of Interiors and Wallpaper. He is currently exhibiting at Harvey Nichols, Cabot Circus, Bristol and in 2011 at the OXO Tower on London’s South Bank. Both designers and retailers Ella Doran and Ruth Aram have expressed an interest in his work along with the new, exclusive fashion outlet  COS, owned by H&M.

Commissions

You may have a favourite tree or group of trees where you go to think, picnic, read or just be. You could call it a ‘Family Tree’.

Paul will consider commissions and can create an artwork just for you that will be a one off and help preserve that special spot. Simply let him know what and where and he will take it from there. Prices are available on request and will vary according to the subject and location.
