ARTIST BIO

Paul is a self-taught award winning artist and photographer. Travelling extensively from a young age has provided Paul with the inspiration and material for his photography and art making. He paints 'plein air' whenever possible, but equally enjoys time in his studio where he works in various mediums, including oil, gouache, watercolour and charcoal. Paul is delighted to have opened Gallery 45 in Port Elliot, which is home to his working studio and also provides the opportunity to show his work alongside other South Australian artists.
