About Paul

Paul Williams is Derbyshire born.

Educated in Ilkeston, he found a passion for woodworking at a young age.

He initially worked in the Aero engineering industry where he learned drawing skills. After 30 years in the public sector, Paul retired and spent a while wandering the hills of Scotland.

He continued to develop his woodworking skills over the years, including turning and then wood carving.

It was during Covid 19 Lockdowns of 2020 when he rediscovered his passion for drawing and subsequently painting. His favourite medium is acrylics.

The subject matter is varied, from portrait, seascapes, boats, buildings. Currently colourful waterfronts with people scenes are dominant subjects with a greater degree of realism. 

Anything can be painted, if you desire something special why not give him a ring.

A specialist subject incorporating all his art skills are turned hardwood plates with carved, painted centre pieces including;  dragonfly, exotic birds and plants.
