Born and raised in Barwell a small village in Leicestershire. Paul's childhood primarily focused around sports and arts. Over the years Pauls love for sport became overshadowed by his love and appreciation for art. Paul studied illustration at Leicester College and graduated in 2003. Painting for the majority of his life, Paul has explored many styles of arts, but has become comfortable in using a simple, impactive and naive style for his artistic expression. Despite influences from artists such as Lowry, Mackenzie Thorpe and Alfred Wallace, Pauls art has an overwhelming sense of individuality about it. Aforementioned, Pauls love for art and sports is portrayed in his art work the majority of his work being centred on Leicester City Football Club and Leicester Tigers. Other work from Paul is primarily centred on his love for sports and the outdoors.
