Born in the Netherlands and raised in Germany, Paul has lived in various places, including Virginia, North Carolina, Australia, Wyoming, and now Florida.

 

With a BFA in Sculpture from Virginia Tech, Paul finds creating art is a way of expressing what and how he sees life, or at least a way of enjoying it. He finds inspiration in nature, particularly the ocean and the forest. He is particularly fond realistic animal and human forms, as well as impressionistic paintings. Sarcasm, both in life and art, is a delightful facet of his personality, always adding a touch of humor and wit to his creations.

Paul enjoys teaching, exploring, and trying to make every day better than the last
