As a former member of the varsity soccer team at West Virginia University and a coach of youth soccer, Paul has the unique artistic opportunity to become familiar with the subject of his artwork on the playing field. Using his familiarity with both athletics and athletes, Paul carefully studies each sport and element that he is called upon to draw so that every subtle detail can be incorporated in his creations.

This essential bond between Paul and the athletes he draws has helped him to capture the passion, commitment, and pure intensity of competitive athletics, while producing artistically impressive works. Although Paul is a completely self-taught artist, his work reflects the precision and attention to detail that he learned while earning a degree in Landscape Architecture. In fact, Paul can spend up to six weeks to finish one of his drawings, refusing to be rushed in his pursuit of perfection.

His artistic attention to the subtleties and fervor of sports has been such that several of his works are on display in galleries throughout the United States. In addition, over 150 of Paul's works have been published.

Paul was born in Nuremberg, Germany in 1965, but has lived in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay area for most of his life. He graduated from West Virginia University in 1989, and in 1991 he started his own art and design business.
