The work of Bristol artist and illustrator Paul Farrell has been inspired by his love for nature and a passionate interest in the graphic arts. Before concentrating on a career as an artist, Paul had worked as a graphic designer in London for 25 years.

A knowledge of flora and fauna have always been a big part of Paul’s life and have developed into the key subject matter for his work, be it the striking silhouette of a dead tree, the prints of a mammal or the markings of a bird’s plumage.

Colour is equally important and Paul devotes much of his time sourcing colours and creating dynamic combinations. Naming each image is also key and helps evoke the beauty and character of every piece of work.
