Born in 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 whilst serving in the Royal Navy. Recognising his artistic talent he was appointed as Artist on the intelligence gathering team. He has since had careers with 'Marks & Spencer' ( Warehouse foreman) & West Mercia Constabulary ( Police Officer) Evesham and Ross on Wye !989 to 1996.
