MichaelPaulArt

Michael started painting about six years ago as a way to channel his creativity which was being stifled by his office job working in IT. He soon re-discovered his passion for painting, which he had not developed since leaving school, which had the added bonus of helping him to chill out and calm his brain in the evenings. Painting helps to support his mental health conditions of OCD and Cyclothymia, making him feel more balanced and focussed. He takes his stimulus from photographs and paints using acrylic on stretched canvas. Having no room for a studio he works in our living room in the evening and at weekends.

Over the last six years he has experimented with a variety of painting style from printing to speed painting; over time he has developed a realistic style and has recently favoured animals as his focus. He has been commissioned to do several pet portraits for friends and colleagues and needs to expand his customer base. Michael is unable to sell his own work and doesn't know how talented he is, which is why I opened this shop on Etsy.
