Paul was recently commissioned by 'The friends of Clifford T Ward' to produce paintings for Christmas cards, based on the songs of Clifford T Ward, the Worcestershire singer/songwriter, best known for his songs 'Homethoughts from abroad' and 'Gaye'."
Born 1959 in Mickleton, Gloucestershire, Paul’s formative years were spent surrounded by Cotswold countryside, farms and livestock. During his early childhood Paul would attend agricultural shows with his father, a stock-man, who would lead the cattle around the show ring. The characters of the cattle, especially the bulls, are a lasting memory. Hence his passion for painting cows now!
Pauls first job as an artist was in 1977, whilst serving in the Royal Navy. Recognising his artistic talent he was appointed as Artist on the intelligence gathering team. In 1996 he started a chimney sweeping business and after 5 years Paul decided he wanted to pursue his dream of becoming a full-time artist. He sold his business to his son-in-law and now just helps him in the busy times,enabling him to work full-time as an artist the rest of the year.
He is a founder member of the newly formed Wychavon area network for artists ,
(WANA). As an active member of the steering commitee he is involved in organising
the first Pershore arts festival in August 2008.
