Paul Norwood paints the world around him, blurring the lines between realism and abstraction. His loose, gestural style and bold, thick brushstrokes suggest rather than define forms, creating sensation without being overly insistent. He’s had solo and group shows in many galleries across the country and is included in the collections of Sir Richard Branson and President Obama. Norwood is based in the Bay Area, but has been painting on both coasts for over 20 years.
