Paul Cairns Art
Based in the North East of Scotland, Paul Cairns is an artist whose work captures the soul and character of life through the expressive mediums of oil paint and coloured pencils. With a focus on animals and people, Paul's art is a celebration of personality, emotion, and the small, meaningful moments that connect us to the world around us.
Blending fine detail with a strong sense of storytelling, his pieces range from powerful, lifelike portraits to whimsical interpretations filled with warmth and charm. Whether it's the wise gaze of a Highland cow or the quiet depth in a human expression, Paul's work invites you to pause, reflect, and connect.

I use a local framing service for my work, and can arrange to have you piece framed for you, unless you wish to frame yourself. Framing is an extra cost and varies depending on your requirements. We will discuss this option should you require it.
