Paul Tanswell

I am born and bred in the Southeast of England and have made my home in Kent. Having spent my life in a career of exhibitions and live events, owning my own businesses designing and building event structures and environments, art has always been part of my life. Having created artwork for friends and family throughout my life it is only recently that I have started accepting commissioned work producing portraits using graphite and charcoal or colour pastels directly to stretched canvas. Saatchi Art has given me a platform to share my work. I love to draw with pastels and pencils but also create sculptures from clay and stone. I seek inspiration from the human form and natural world exploring light and movement.
