Graduating in 1987 from Maidstone College of Art, with a Fine Arts BA (hons) degree I entered the world of teaching after gaining a PGCE at Bretton hall. My role as art teacher rapidly developed to head of department, head of faculty, to becoming an AST, and deputy head at a SEND School, Recently I was a teacher of nurture after 2 years of art, photography, teaching before retiring in Dec 2024

Contemporary artist Paul Talbot gives you an insight into what makes him laugh, think, and tick. There might be something that will make you laugh, go aha or blush! The making of his current quirky art displays aspects of his life and the world around him that gives him inspiration. I am an artist who works within the field of painting, where text-based art is predominant I also utilise mixed media, printmaking, and copper to create pieces which viewers may be challenged or walk away laughing. Mainly working with acrylic on canvas his work adds simplicity to a recognisable image, where text can be an integral part of the artwork itself or a mechanism to carry an idea that convey thoughts we all have, places we have been and comments we could have made Now retired, I have had a bespoke studio built where he can create full-time
