Paul Brown

American (b. 1967)

Paul S. Brown grew up in North Carolina, trained in Italy and lives in Dorset, England. In 1988 he attended Studio Cecil Graves in Florence, Italy before joining the Florence Academy of Art, where he was a founding student teacher for the school’s first two years.

A true Classical Realist, Paul upholds rigorous standards and holds firm to principles of artistic integrity, emulating the techniques and materials of the Old Masters. A signatory to the Slow Art manifesto, he works from life in the naturalist tradition, paints on linen canvas and prepares his own paints by hand, carefully selecting pigments and oils to his precise requirements. His keen passion for nature and life is reflected strongly in his work.
