Paul Harley was born on the outskirts of Birmingham in a small village called Barnt Green. From an early age he had an affinity with the countryside and its wildlife. He loved to draw and paint his surroundings and from there his natural ability has developed into the acclaimed artist he is today.Although he is mainly self-taught, he did seek tuition during a two year convalescence period, before turning professional in 1984.Having lived in the Lake District for a number of years he is very familiar with the beauty spots it is so famous for. An accomplished photographer he is greatly inspired by the dramatic effects the changes in season and the times of day has on the stunning scenery. It is this ambience he captures in his paintings, the majesty of the mountains and the reflections in the Lakes. As a keen fell walker his spare time is spent walking in the Lake District, always searching for another spectacular landscape to put on canvas. Cumbria is home to England’s highest mountain and largest lake, the area abounds with beauty and splendour that has moved famous poets to write of it and artists to illustrate.
