Paul grew up in a little town near Zanesville called White Cottage in a house with several brothers and sisters shod in cheap tennis shoes and frequently threatened with being sent "to the children's home".

Paul presently lives in an old (very old) farmhouse on the outskirts of Zanesville. The house, it's outbuildings, the animals, the garden, all of it really, ends up in most of his paintings, that, and an endless stream of sometimes anxiety ridden, but always true to life, childhood memories. Paul also maintains an in town studio, a rented out gallery, and several other downtown buildings which he has single-handedly rehabilitated. he is a key member of the formation of the Downtown Zanesville Artists Colony. he has a precious little girl named Ruby with fellow Hayley Gallery artist Nora Daniel.

Paul received his BFA at the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, and was awarded his MFA from Ohio University, Athens. His paintings have been included in museum and gallery exhibitions all over Ohio, West Virginia and New York. Previously granted Ohio Arts Council Individual Art Fellowships in 1991 and 2001, in 2005 he was awarded an Ohio Arts Council Summer Residency Fellowship which he spent in Provinctown, Massachusetts. His work has most recently been included in the Permanent Collection of the Supreme Court of Ohio and The Limited Corporation in Columbus, Ohio
