Paul Butterworth Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom
I live and work from my home studio in Cambridge. I am a 2nd year BA (Hons) Painting student with the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham - Open College of the Arts campus.
As well as painting I am a professional TV/film actor. You may have seen me as Barry in the Full Monty and more recently as Michael Ellacott (Holliday Grainger's dad) in J.K.Rowling's 'Strike' series.
I see painting as acting on canvas where the colours and shapes are the other actors and you perform in the moment, thinking without words.
