Paul Telford is an exciting new talent discovered by The Leith Gallery and exhibited for the first time at the New Graduate Exhibition in January 1996 where all of his paintings sold and commissions were received for several others. He graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1995 where his degree show attracted a great deal of attention. The rise of Paul's reputation since that auspicious start has been a pleasure to observe. His first London exhibition was a success as have his exhibitions in Edinburgh and Glasgow. His work was included in a prestigious exhibition in New York in 1998 where it sold to a private American collector.
