Paul Whitehead

Paul is a self-taught multi award winning artist and photographer.

Travelling extensively from a young age has provided Paul with the inspiration and material for his photography and art making.

He paints ‘en plein air’ whenever possible, but equally enjoys time in his studio on the Fleurieu where he works in various mediums, including oil, gouache, watercolour and charcoal.

Paul’s first venture into the outback was as a schoolboy, and, since then, he takes every opportunity to ‘go bush’.

The Flinders Ranges is one of his most favourite places in the world, and he loves to paint, photograph and hike there.  He never gets sick of the changing light and scenery, some of which he tries to capture in paint or photography.  He would describe his painting style as impressionistic realism and is always experimenting in the studio with different mediums and surfaces.

Paul joined the Painters of the Flinders Ranges group in 2024 and is very much looking forward to being part of the exhibition and talking all things art and Flinders with exhibition visitors as well as his fellow members.
