I create abstract and impressionist landscape, garden and architectural images using the camera as my tool and looking at the world through a different lens. The coast is a special draw to me.

I am a photographer and mixed media artist. I have recently got back into art after a long break due to focusing on my Photography Business. In the last two years I have fallen in love with painting again. My inspiration can come from absolutely anything. I work in acrylics, collage and inks on canvas, mixed media paper and birchwood ply boards. I work predominantly intuitively as I just love to see where the journey takes me. I will be exhibiting with a fellow PAOS artist in our village of Orton Waterville and plan to serve Tea, coffee and cakes on arrival.

Paul Joseph-Crank - Still life and figures in acrylics, pastels and mixed media. Exhibiting in the Peterborough Artists' Open Studios this year with The Gidding Group, I studied fine art in Manchester before taking up a career in graphic design and illustration. I work from sketches and photographs, using them as a drawing aid to create images in paint or print. Over the years I have been represented by galleries across the UK and exhibited in Art Fairs in the UK and Europe. Recently I have been concentrating on still life and figure drawing. Set up in the studio they allow me to work from 'real life' and to experiment with light and composition. Visit paulcrank.co.uk to see more work and for latest exhibition updates. Paul Joseph-Crank - The Gidding Group The Gidding Group of artists are Krystyna Wojcik, Sue Jarvis and myself. We warmly invite you to visit. Together with our PAOS fellow artists we have parking, wonderful home baked cakes and refreshments  - and loos!

I have been creating for many years. I graduated from the University of Life Sciences in Poland. There I began to see the beauty in nature. I started designing gardens. I have painting deep in my soul, and I started painting here in England. I see joy in a colorful garden and want to bring the same mood to the gardens. Many call my style as close to Abstract Impressionism. During my studies, I began to explore Europe in search of inspiration. The German Black Forest, the French Montmartre in Paris, vast fields of tulips in the Netherlands, the Basque culture in San Sebastian, the world of art galleries in London, and finally, the artistically sensitive society of Artists in Peterborough - all of this influenced my charming way of treating colors as a reflection of my mood at the moment. Painting is one of the elements of the sensitive person's environment. Added to it are the plants in the garden, their scent and shape. Sculptures upon which a curious robin always perches, showing off its reddish breast. And woven into all of this are the Lilliput Line cottages, which I collect - completing the enchantment. I invite you to visit my paradise.The mentioned painting works best in the environment of people seeking tranquility and understanding of their surroundings and themselves. In the disorderly colors and techniques, they can find their own memories and solace for their souls. That's why over 20 of my paintings are a constant therapeutic element on the walls of the Central Medical Centre in Peterborough. They immerse patients in contemplation and surprise. Such is also the aim of my life: to provide people with art in a form that makes them feel good. This ensures a well-designed environment both in the garden and at home or work. https://youtu.be/-WV78vhEWEA

His speciality is Art Photography and photo restoration. He has become known for his Edwardian actress restorations. A number of restorations for private clients have been commissioned and completed to their delight. The restoration process can be either a straightforward tidy-up of small marks or corrections. For instance, from, say sepia toning back to black and white or vice versa. A tidy up or tinting, removing backgrounds, and people, and adding new images of people or new backgrounds. Art photography is his main interest at the moment. As he completes each image, his enthusiasm for probing further in this direction increases. Many people may think that photography is a poor relation to 'proper' art but Paul states, 'many hours over several weeks can be spent setting up a photo, and there can be no certainty of a successful outcome, there are many failures, but Paul says there is a great feeling of satisfaction when an idea comes to fruition.. Paul says that working with glass is especially difficult. However much it is cleaned before the image is taken it seems to attract any passing dust. Working with glass and backgrounds with straight lines can also be a challenge. You will see the finished article in his exhibition but you won't see the hours spent getting everything as perfect as possible. Paul's restoration experience comes in very useful during the post-processing of the image.
