Paul became an accredited professional photographer in 2014 after having spent the previous 25 years in ‘corporate world’. Having raised his family with his wife Karen he decided to opt out of the corporate arena and return to his love of art and photography.
He works in various media including oils, acrylic, spray paints, ink pens, digital and photography often combining them in a way that it conveys both substance and emotion.
Meditation is a key part of Paul’s daily routine and he creates his abstract acrylics through a process he refers to as meditative art. This meditative approach flows into his photographic process where he allows the image to reveal itself rather than chase a particular shot. He found over the years that when he chased a particular shot, he would be missing out on everything else around him. Being more present and open revealed a lot more that he expected. This process is used in his nature based photography and throughout his work.
Paul is based just outside Brisbane in Queensland and travels throughout Australia often finding inspiration in the amazing Australian country and communities.
