About Paul Jenkins

Birth Place: West Midlands

Education: Dudley College Of Art

Paul first started his career in art the early 70's sculpting in wood and then found himself drawn to sculpting in clay and wax. He then went on to study ceramics at Dudley College of Art.

After graduating in 1979, Paul set up his own business making sculpture and ceramics which were sold all over the world. Within five years he had a growing customer base that included galleries and private collectors.

Paul then sold his business to concentrate on more exclusive art works rather than the mass market pieces he had so successfully produced in the past.
Paul went on to work as a commercial designer for various companies around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of New York. There he was commissioned to produce a replica that was the exact size, shape and colour of a rare tea pot from 1950. This piece was exhibited and further copies sold to galleries and private collectors.

Paul has also created more outlandish pieces such as 6 Ten-foot Art Deco Figures for the interior of a night club.

Paul has also sculpted several pieces for the National Trust which were then presented to people for their outstanding contributions within the trust.

Paul's inspiration comes from his love of nature and many of his pieces are inspired from direct observation of wild animals in their natural habitat.

Paul’s art can be found in many galleries in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.
