Paul Williams studied art at Willoughby Arts Centre, mostly under abstract expressionist Tony Tozer and more recently under Yaeli Ohana, a specialist in the use of colour.

Paul was born in Sydney and works in his attic studio in Mosman, close to the blue bays and pristine bushland of Middle Harbour. He looks forward to his early morning swim and bushwalks at Balmoral Beach. Paul's work is inspired by the coastal environment and is motivated by his memories, feelings and imagination.
