Welcome to my website
Hello, a little about me…
I’ve been involved with art for about 50 years.
I was a member of the Newcastle Printmakers Workshop for 35 years.
My areas of interest include seascapes, local Newcastle and Cooks Hill urban landscapes and portraiture of people and pets.
My work has been exhibited at several galleries including Cooks Hill Galleries, Von Bertouch Gallery, The Lindsay Street Gallery, Back to Back Gallery, Museum of Art and Culture Lake Macquarie, Maitland Regional Art Gallery and C studios Art Gallery.
I’ve been a finalist in the Inaugural Lake Macquarie Art Prize 2020; the Newcastle Region Art Gallery ‘Newcastle : The Special Edition – 1797 – 1997); the Maitland City Bicentennial Project.
I am happy to take commissions on any subject in any size .
My preferred mediums are oils pen and ink on paper or relief printing .

Thank you so much. My father-in-law loved this painting. The detail is amazing.
I have commissioned Paul for a number of artworks of the local Newcastle beaches and city-scapes. I am extremely happy with the final works.
Paul has painted several portraits of my cat and dogs. They look wonderful hanging on my wall. These are also reminders of much loved pets who are no longer with us.
Paul is an exceptional artist and his eye for detail is second to none. I have commissioned sea-scapes and pet portraits for myself and as gifts for family members and I love them all. Every time I look at them I smile.
