Paul Rafferty "Peonies" Signed, oil on linen laid on board, 40cm by 28cm
Paul Rafferty was born in 1965 in Oxford, England. Rafferty is self taught but with much support and encouragement from professional artists throughout his career, he primarily paints on location in oil. The influence from 19th and 20th century masters is evident in Rafferty's work, along with a number of contemporary painters working today. Paul Rafferty was born in 1965 in Oxford, England.

Every painting is about the light and its play on the subjects he depicts. Having the fortunate opportunity to have bases in the South of France, California and London, Rafferty's work is infused with an abundant source of light, each location being a staging point from where he can travel through Europe or the United States and gather material to express his vision.
Studio work plays a major role in his output allowing for a much larger, more considered approach to the subjects gathered in the field.
Rafferty is represented by The Portland Gallery in London.
