60f Paul Hillary at Artists at the Howard Centre

Blyth Marshes. An expression of the wonderful atmospheric marshlands and waterways in Blythburgh, Suffolk

Paul Hillary was born in Carlisle & educated in Cumbria before studying Graphic Design at Kingston University where he attained an Honours degree. Paul has always been drawn to the moods & atmospheres created by the elements on land & sea and the effect it has on colours. He has had numerous exhibitions in the home counties of England as well as Gloucestershire.
While working as a Graphic Designer around London Paul has taken time out to travel extensively in Africa, Australia, America & Thailand sketching & painting on his travels. He is married to Juliet & has two boys, Joe & Reef with a support crew of Marra the Lakeland Terrier, Moose the brown working cocker, and Pearl the black & white cat. In his home town in Herts Paul was awarded a 22 artwork Corporate commission for a Global Pharmaceutical Company which is still on display in their HQ.
Over recent years the acrylics, oils & sketches have been inspired by stays on islands around the UK including the Channel Islands & the Hebrides. His sketches are largely done on location & canvases in his studio in Hertfordshire.
Paul is constantly exploring with technique, colourways & texture in his art & photography, constantly capturing abstract images of old stressed skips, textures in nature, and abstract colour combinations in what he sees. Themes from these observations are constantly translated onto his artworks in an abstract or semi-abstract way.
