Paul Jenkins was born in the West Midlands in 1949. He started his career in art in the early 70s, first sculpting in wood and then finding himself drawn to sculpting in clay and wax. He then went on to study ceramics at Dudley College of Art.

For many years Paul worked as a commercial designer for various companies around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum in New York. There he was commissioned to reproduce the exact size, shape and colour of a rare 1850s teapot from the museum. He has also created more outlandish pieces, such as six 10ft Art Deco figures for the interior of a night club, and he has sculpted several pieces for the National Trust.

Paul Jenkins's animal sculptures - limited edition bronzes, and raku fired ceramics - are widely sought after by private collectors. His inspiration comes from his love of nature, many of his pieces resulting directly from his observation of wild animals in their natural habitats.

Paul currently lives and works in the West Midlands.
