| Paul Forsey Paintings |
| A full time artist and designer, I have work in many collections including the Arthur Andersen Art Collection, P and O, the Gyosei International College and a series of 11 works on paper in the Strand Headquarters of Enterprise Oil. I am a past winner of the Farnham Open. Media used can be various, but there are three converging strands to my work; biblical, abstract, and digital, and there is regularly a lot of cross over between them. I work both speculativley and to commission. |
