Painter of the everyday, everyday.
My New Book.
Bold, Brave and a Bit Quirky is part memoir, part manifesto, and part mischievous nudge to anyone who’s ever had an idea they’ve felt too scared, or too busy, to bring to life.
Paul Fairweather – artist, speaker, and unapologetic experimenter – shares stories from his life and work, with ideas and insights alongside whimsical watercolours, to inspire the courage to create and the confidence to connect.
From chance encounters to left-field projects, from childhood memories to professional lessons (often learned the hard way), Paul shows how creativity isn’t about waiting for inspiration – it’s about noticing, starting, and daring to share.
This is not a ‘how-to’ book. It’s a ‘why-not?’ book.
Playful, practical, and occasionally profound, Bold, Brave and a Bit Quirky will remind you that creativity at any age can bring a little zest into your life

About Paul
Paul Fairweather is a Brisbane-based artist whose work explores the beauty of familiar places, fleeting moments and everyday life. A former architect, Paul brings an eye for composition, light and form to his paintings, balancing structure with a loose, expressive approach. Working primarily in oils and watercolours, his subjects range from landscapes and everyday objects to figurative works. His paintings invite us to look again at the ordinary and discover something we might otherwise have missed.
