Taking inspiration from a wide variety of sources, Paul is an avid bird watcher, musician and traveler with a special interest in Africa. His interests in zoology, geography, history, literature and exploration have led him on many journeys, including canoe expeditions of the canals of northern Europe and walking safaris through the East African savannas.

Paul has shown his work in Montreal, Toronto, Seattle, Vancouver, and Portland, Oregon. His work belongs to private collections around the world. He studied visual art and animation at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design.

Born and raised in the western provinces of BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan, Paul moved east to Montreal for 10 years to work for the National Film Board of Canada where he directed short, hand drawn, animated films. His longing for the Pacific Rim brought him back west to East Vancouver where he now lives and works. When not painting and drawing, Paul can be found on his bike looking for birds, or hanging out with his wife and daughter.
