Paul Winder, Artist
I was born in 1952 and I've lived in Brighton pretty much all my life. My familly also hail from Brighton and surrounding area which means I feel very "connected" to this part of the world. I'm married, have four sons and live in Woodingdean (which is close to Rottingdean) on the outskirts of Brighton city. I am an ex-civil servant and I turned professional artist in 1997. I am a self-taught artist, developing such skills as I have through years of drawing and painting from life models at the Sussex County Arts Club. I paint with both oils and soft pastels and enjoy using both but for completely different painting experiences. I paint in my garden studio and exhibit most regularly at the studio as part of the Brighton Festival’s Artist Open Houses, which is one of the most important showcases for creative talent in the South East of England. I paint many subjects, including animals, seascapes and landscapes.
