Biography 

     Born in Detroit in 1959, Paul Kenneth Syerson came from an artistic background. Both his mother and grandfather were artists, and there was also an art teacher in the family. On the Syerson side there were several known artists, including a cartoonist and cover artist for the Saturday Evening Post back in the 1940's. Art has always come naturally to Paul, and he started drawing detailed cartoons at a very early age.

     He studied briefly under Kegham Tazian at college (who also taught his mother years earlier) as well as studying photography and music. He is also a musician, with his band The Exiled WolfPack, playing guitar and many other instruments.

     " In the 1980's and early 90's I worked hard to develop my skills and studied the techniques of many different movements in an effort to improve my work. I knew this would help me reach my eventual goal of making my living as a painter. After working with cubism, surrealism and pop for a while, I rediscovered abstract with a new vigor, and have worked in that direction ever since. When people stop and look at my newer works, many gaze on it for quite a while. That is a reaction I really enjoy."
