Not Paul's words ... but those of previous clients and fellow art professionals.

Many Centuries ago Pictish Society somehow managed to survive, indeed flourish.

Their monumental carved stones, left to us, bear testimony to the supportive infrastructure that enabled their Artist/Craftsmen to enhance the Pictish world and indeed ours now.

I have experienced many of the challenges faced by Artist /Craftsmen over my working life and am acutely aware of the tension twixt creative drive and commercial viability.

A supportive environment can be crucial.

In the long term, however, imaginative approaches coupled with a foundation in traditional skills and techniques are key to survival.

Paul Mowbray’s work exemplifies this, and he, as such, deserves recognition for his demonstrable talents.

I stress the plural as it is rare to find such a width of skills, knowledge and experience.

From the Archaic to the Contemporary his conscientious and discerning approach is always in evidence.

Carving; Sculpture; Painting; Fine Cabinet making; Lettering… the list goes on.

How I envy this man’s capacity.

I entreat those who can to support him, enabling as our Pictish forbears did, work which will inspire and delight, hopefully giving some the ambition to become the Artist / Craftsmen of the future.
