Often referred to as a “colorist”, Paul’s work is fresh and directly painted. His simple, concrete shapes and strong contrasts of light and shadow provide the platform for his intensification of local color. His goal: “to capitalize on the joy and to hold the memory of a place that has made an impression – somewhere between reality and illusion.” Paul was recently juried into the Providence Art Club’s National Open Show, received the North Shore Artists Association’s Award for Excellence in New England Impressionist Landscape and the Guerrilla Painter Award.He also earned a first place in impressionism/landscape from the American Art Awards. He has shown in many invitational shows, including at the Danforth Museum, the Bedford Art Museum, the Rotenberg Gallery’s “Selected Boston Artists” show, the Thos Moser Gallery, the Maine College of Art, and the Ogunquit Art Association. Among juried plein air competitions, Paul is a 7 time participant in the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust auction and contributes to a number of other local charity events. Paul completed independent study at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the New England School of Art and Design and the University of Massachusetts.
