His works have been exhibited in one-man shows, joint shows and mixed exhibitions.
He has been represented by various galleries at art fairs and he regularly displays at the Affordable Art Fairs in Battersea, Bristol and Amsterdam. Paul has been represented by The Dolby Gallery in Oundle, Woodbine Contemporary Arts in Uppingham and The Bedford Street Gallery in Woburn, Bedfordshire.
