He has received several grants and awards for his painting and most recently in October 2009 was shortlisted for the Emerging Visual Artist Award 2009 by the Arts Council and Wexford Arts Office. Paul exhibits extensively nationally and internationally in solo and group shows.

Notions of militarism and Ireland’s position as a neutral state in a global context are current topics of interest. The two artists exhibiting paintings in Military Zones have developed their interests in the facets of the military world very differently in both their approach to the chosen medium of paint, scale, situations and the questions raised in these visual interpretations.

Paintings for sale.
