Paul Branton,  was born in 1973 in Chicago.  He was influenced at an early age by the sights & sounds of the south side’s urban environment.  Drawing, writing short stories & putting on plays with his sister quickly became a passion and a means of expressing himself.  It was this passion that guided his education, which ultimately guided his career.

Branton received his BFA from Millikin University (Decatur, IL)  majoring in commercial art with an emphasis in painting.  His work has been exhibited throughout Chicago and hangs in private homes from New York to Los Angeles.
