He received his BFA in Studio Art with a concentration in Painting from Syracuse University in 1994. Immediately after school he was part of the nascent group of artists and musicians who established the art scene in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. By the turn of the century Paul was a part of the staff at the seminal Dia Foundation for the Arts in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, and soon after helped launch the first Howl! Festival in Manhattan. He has since continued to work with a variety of creative professionals while at St. Ann’s Warehouse, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, and as a graphic designer and web developer. His paintings and graphic works have been exhibited in New York City, Washington DC, and Richmond, among other places. In addition to painting, Paul has written art criticism for the Washington City Paper and Hyattsville Life & Times, and currently curates exhibitions in the Gateway Arts District.
