A Creative Journey Where Art and Photography Meets a Lifetime of Vision, Spirit and Imagination.
Hello, I’m Paul Duddell —
Artist, painter, author, and photographer behind "Whispers & Strokes"
Born in Nairobi, Kenya (1964) and raised between Africa, Gibraltar, Cyprus, and England, my life has been a canvas painted with colour, light, and discovery. From the sunlit streets of Nairobi to the misty skylines of Norwich, I've always sought to capture the beauty hidden within life's quiet moments.
A graduate of Heartsease Comprehensive School in Norwich, my creative roots began with an O-Level in Art and countless evenings learning from the masters such as Bob Ross. My work weaves together storytelling, poetry and emotion, transforming ordinary scenes into timeless visual memories - where every brushstroke whispers a story from the heart.
Yet my greatest creation isn’t found on canvas—it’s my daughter, Rhianna, the light that guides every new work. A proud single father, that paints with the same devotion that raised her: with patience, hope, and heart.
Every piece I create - whether painted, penned, or photographed - is part of a lifelong conversation between Heart and Art. Through Whispers & Strokes, I hope to share not just my work, but a feeling; that quiet spark of connection when a scene, a colour, or a memory speaks to your soul.
Thank you for taking the time to step inside my world. May each artwork you discover bring a little warmth, reflection, and inspiration to yours.
