bio

Graduating in 1987 from Maidstone College of Art, with a Fine Arts BA (Hons) Degree Paul Talbot entered the world of teaching after gaining a PGCE at Bretton Hall, where he met his future wife, Jo.

His role as art teacher rapidly developed to Head of Department, then Head of Faculty, to becoming an Advanced Skills Teacher and finally to the role of Deputy Head at a Special Needs School, Head of Sixth Form which meant that there was little time for creating his own artwork.

Currently he is working as teacher of nurture following a two year period of teaching art, photography and food technology after relocating to Yorkshire.

He has exhibited at the Affordable Art Fairs, BANG Gallery, Sesame Gallery and The Linda Blackstone Gallery, CreARTive 180 Gallery, Open Gallery, EtzChayim Gallery including three one-man shows; selling both nationally and internationally.
