Welcome,
Isn't the allure of the ocean and its coastal life simply captivating? For me, it's an enduring passion.
My connection with the sea traces back to my earliest memories. Growing up, I spent considerable time near the shore, particularly with one grandparent residing just a stone's throw away from the beach in Portsmouth. Those formative years left an indelible mark, shaping my affinity for coastal living. Through adulthood, I've lost track of the years I've spent along the coastline. From exchanging vows with my wife amidst the pristine shores of Mauritius to dwelling by the sea in Spain for many seasons, and renewing our vows on the breathtaking 4-mile beach of Port Douglas, Tropical North Queensland, Australia, my life has been woven with the rhythm of the waves. This profound connection absolutely influences my artistic endeavours.
I'm Paul Stretton-Stephens, a Visual Artist impassioned by the coastal world. Through Fusion Hybrid Art, Digital Art, and Fine Art Photography, I craft evocative pieces that resonate with the essence of coastal living.
In my creations, you'll find a reflection of the ocean's dynamic energy as well as the serene tranquility of coastal landscapes. Each piece is imbued with a distinct character, capturing moments reminiscent of leisurely holidays and serene retreats. They serve not only as adornments for your home but also as cherished gifts for those special occasions.
Warm regards,
Paul

Meet Paul
Paul Stretton-Stephens is a self-taught, visually impaired artist who works across a wide range of media including Fusion Hybrid Art, Digital Art, Photography, and Acrylics, where he has a passion for the abstract and anything coastal.
Paul’s influences stem from his love of indigenous art, where he has attended aboriginal art workshops and visited, multiple times, the abundance of galleries and artistic locations of Santa Fe and wider New Mexico. Paul gained great inspiration from Art Santa Fe, the hub of one of the country's most celebrated art scenes, as well as from the Taos Pueblo and Navajo peoples. In addition, having lived in Spain for 11 years, Paul also draws on the rich legacy and culture of the Moors and numerous visits to the stunning galleries of Madrid. His vibrant and contemporary abstract artwork is gaining in popularity and is becoming more collectible. His aspiration is to have his works hung on the walls of homes and other spaces around the world.
