About

Profile

Born into a hardworking commercial fisherman’s family in 1959, I was taught that hard work was an important part of life. I have been employed in the Graphic Arts Industry as a Printer and Color Coordinator for over 30 years. But Art was also an option. My Father also named Paul is a World known Marine Artist and an Ex Gloucester Fisherman. He taught me to appreciate natures colors through a painters eye. I Paint primarily Alla prima on Location and in the Studio. Painting in one session allows me to paint spontaneously and capture the subject the way I originally viewed, and interpreted the scene, and not to overwork the painting. I enjoy Drawing, Painting and Photographing the working waterfront on location, so to experience the Sights, sounds and smells that helped draw me to the scene. I also like to push the colors of the sometimes dreary Waterfront. My Paintings have been exhibited at: The Northshore Art Association Rockport Art Association The Sawyer Free Library and many Local art events. I currently reside in Gloucester, Massachusetts with my Wife Catherine and our four boys
