Paul\u2019s artwork spans genres from Neo-Expressionism to Photorealism. His award- winning paintings are represented in major public collections around the world, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The National Gallery of Australia, The National Portrait Gallery in London and even The Throne Room of Buckingham Palace. His portraits and contemporary works have been featured across television, radio and documentary programmes on all major international networks, earning him a reputation as one of the most distinguished contemporary artists working today. Yet his creativity extends far beyond the canvas. A lifelong musician, he has recently written and released an album, Tree of Ghosts, adding another dimension to an already remarkable artistic journey. This conversation is full of anecdotes, insights, warmth and humour covering the extraordinary life of one of our most talented yet humble creatives today. Not to be missed!  Related links: Paul\u2019s website \u2022 Tree of Ghosts - SALLIS Artwork discussed: Queen Camilla \u2022 Queen Elizabeth \u2022 Sir Mick Jagger \u2022 Speaking in Tongues \u2022 Scrying Mirror \u2022 Sinking Car Bandwidth Conversations is proudly sponsored by Klira.  Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant.
