 | Paul Doyle
Born in Coventry and educated at the City of Coventry Boarding School, Paul left school at 16 in order to train as an apprentice draughtsman. Paul’s first love however is and always has been painting. Paul tried to further his education by taking night school to study art. This was short-lived as by the third lesson the teacher informed Paul that he should be teaching the class, not studying in it. Then Paul went to work designing graphics for a video unit and designing graphics for large conferences. He realized an ambition of painting a huge mural of Two Badgers onto the side of his Warwickshire home, for which he has obtained the blessing of the other villagers and council’s permission. His long term aim is to buy and convert an old barn. He has been making a living from his art since 1997 when his first three prints were released to considerable success. Since then, Paul has had more than 70 prints released. Many of his prints are Out of Print and command up to six times as much as the original retail price. This is no accident. It is as much a part of his talent, a unique way of looking at his subjects and downright hard work. Paul is branching out and has a line of limited edition canine plates and mugs. He lives, in his Badger-bedecked home in Warwickshire, with his three rescued Border Collies: “Paddy", “Belle” and "Sally".
