4walls was blown away by artist Paul Dolman’s stunning depictions of various different landscapes and settings. We were keen to understand more about the makings of Paul’s career as a painter, and where he sources inspiration for his unparalleled and distinctive pieces. Born in Derbyshire, Paul then moved with his parents during his earlier years and went on to spend his childhood in the picturesque county of Devon, where his love and interest for art grew as he did. His talents were visible at a young age, and throughout his childhood he collected a series of awards as a junior artist - a considerable achievement which only indicated the success that was to come during his future art career. It was this exposure to the landscape around him that acted as a catalyst for propelling Paul into his journey as an artist, and he landed his first job in the arts as a pottery designer. He then moved from there to become an illustrator for the South Devon Scene, a local newspaper based in the internationally renowned art college at Dartington Hall near Totnes. Early on during his time as an illustrator, Paul’s talent was widely recognised and he achieved almost immediate success within the artistic sphere, having been commissioned to produce pen and ink drawings for multiple clients in the publishing industry.
