Paul Greenwood was born in Bradford in 1969. He threw himself into drawing and painting from an early age. At the age of thirteen he became fascinated with American Photo-realism and in particularly the work of Chuck Close. From that early beginning he wanted to paint images that touched the soul and began to learn how to paint in extreme detail which provided an excellent grounding for a career as a commercial artist.

After leaving school Paul Greenwood showed some of his drawings and paintings to the art director of a national greetings card company. As a result he started a long career in the advertising and greetings card business. Later he had his art work published as signed limited edition prints which created the opportunity for him to express himself in a different direction to greeting’s card work. Also during this period Paul had exhibitions in London and New York, which helped expose his artistic talents to a wider audience.

Speaking about his art Paul says: 'My favourite time to think idea’s is walking to work with my ipod. Music reveals emotions and images from deep inside. It is a powerful source of energy for my mind and travel everywhere with music on tap. I also observe people going about there everyday lives and sometimes while driving I will see something, write the idea down and draw it later. I don’t want to forget those important human moments that can be taken for granted.'

Today Paul Greenwood typically produces paintings which are quirky with an element of humour and intriguing perspective. His art works are becoimg highly sought after are in collections throughout the world.
