Paul was born in Manchester, UK, and now lives and works between there and Cheshire, founding his practice Paul James Workshop full time in 2019.

 

His earliest influences into art and creativity were through music, exploring genres through the decades and centuries, and his exploration of art history took the same path- references to masters of the past are scattered throughout his work.

 

He has a varied background, spanning music, film, art, design, and architecture. Personal interests such as spirituality, geometry, literature, poetry or science may take precedence as a means of communication at any time, so the artwork continually evolves.
