Other Sculptures         To e-mail Paul
Paul spent his early years in Colombia, South America, where his first impressions of movement, art and form were developed.
He has a B.A. degree from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN and  M.A. degrees from the University of Oregon and Florida State University and was a college English teacher and a Medical Librarian before becoming  a sculptor.

Paul studied sculpture at Chicago's School of the Art Institute and at the Contemporary Art Workshop, but much of his skill is self-taught.
Paul's sculptures are found in collections throughout the United States and in England, Germany and Canada.
His works are included in the collections of Blue Cross, Blue Shield of Minnesota, Hennepin County Humane Society, Express Scripts, Wells Fargo Bank, and Ridgeview Medical Center.
He has received a number of awards, including "Best of Show" at the Edina Art Fair and "Honorable Mention" at the Uptown Art Fair, and he was an award winner at the 1994 Society of Minnesota Sculptors' Show. 
Paul has been in numerous one and two-person shows.  Currently his works are on display at Kah-Nee-Tah Gallery in Lutsen, Minnesota,  and Abstract Earth Gallery in Columbus Ohio.
