Paul Stretton-Stephens on Clubhouse

Bio

Paul Stretton-Stephens is a visual artist who works with digital art, mainly for abstract works, and with digital photography, where he has a passion for anything coastal.

Paul’s vibrant and contemporary fluid artwork is gaining in popularity.

Born in Robin Hood country, Nottingham, and raised in various places in England, Paul has been creating photography for many years alongside his day job. This creativity came to an abrupt halt in 2015 when Paul’s ‘incurable’ eye condition deteriorated, for which they registered him as severely sight impaired (blind). Fast forward 7 years and Paul has regained much of his vision and is now a self-proclaimed 'visual addict'. Paul discovered digital art during his recovery and he became passionate about its pursuit.

He balances his artistic creations between his digital art and his love of digital photography, which came about whilst Paul was serving in HM Forces.

His digital art is mainly abstract and the themes are based upon his experience of life and his environment. Whereas his photography is almost always nature based with an emphasis on the coast. His current long-term project is that of 'Coastal Life'.

While Paul has no formal creative qualifications, his passion for creating compelling images is clear in his works.

​Paul has a varied background, from service in the armed forces to physical education instructor, senior education management, to mindset coaching. Since the return of his vision, Paul decided that his passion for art and photography nourished his soul so much that he has pursued these ardently, alongside some of his written works.

​Fast forward to now, Paul works from home in the coastal town of Exmouth, Devon, UK. And his work allows him the freedom to care for his wife who has mixed rare dementia. He also has an affinity for manouche jazz, profound conversations and the beach.

Paul's visual artwork conveys elements of life, life he has experienced and life he has witnessed first-hand. This all culminating in compelling images that suggest worthy visual stories for our spaces.
