Biography:

When your daily life is punctuated with inherent beauty, inspiration for an artist is on tap. Living, working and raising his family in the small coastal town of Point Lonsdale has provided Paul with an abundance of morning skies over-looking Point Nepean, dusk skies at the Point Lonsdale back beach and a myriad of native flora and fauna to explore.

Capturing the contextual light shifts with ever changing oil paint palettes, Paul works with dark seas to contrast velvet skies intent on encapsulating light in every essence. Paul’s love of nature is mirrored equally with his appreciation for the human form, as if floating on paper, the shadow and form of the body appear with romantic delicacy.

Paul fluctuates from his ethereal nudes, to figurative landscapes effortlessly. He enjoys working across several mediums such as oil, acrylic, pastel and ink but recently has enjoyed refining his screen-printing skills whilst producing contemporary landscapes with vivid colour preparation and execution. Contemplation and beauty beckon each of Paul’s works, and exquisite use of colours mark his individuality.
