Paul's work has evolved over the years to become an expression of all his passions, not just his love of the medium of wood. He began more than 20 years ago as a tradtitional wood craftsman, making jewelry boxes adn furniture. His interests branched out to explore the textural possibilities of weed, then to color, and on to the addition of other materials until his work became truly multi-media.

Animals have become a dominant theme. Fish are a perfect canvas for his exploration of color, texture and pattern. Paul is drawn to realistic body shapes, but allows the surface decoration to follow is whimsy.

Paul Sumner's fish and snakes are shown at 25 Commercial Street, Wellfleet
