Paul Isaacs

Colony Watercolours

I have exhibited in England and Scotland. Having completed an Art Foundation course in Brighton, I then moved to Maidstone, where I did a degree in Visual Communication, specialising in Illustration. A Master’s degree in Art Therapy brought me up to Edinburgh, when I studied at Queen Margaret’s University, when it was based in Leith. I have since qualified as a child and adolescent psychotherapist and I work full-time in NHS Fife Infant, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service.

I try to paint as much as I can in my spare time and I always take a sketch book with me on my travels. Each year my mother and I go on a residential painting holiday and it is my mother who I thank for passing the artistic baton down to me.

I have painted commissions of house portraits in London, Brighton and Edinburgh.
