Paul Whitaker - Lake District Landscape & Wildlife Artist

About Me

I am a fine artist based on the edge of the Lake District in the North of England. Since 2020, I have been exhibiting my work and capturing the shifting character of this landscape from my studio in Penrith.


My work moves between three connected worlds: bold, contemporary landscapes that capture the drama of the fells; expressive acrylics that bring birds to life; and evocative watercolours celebrating our native wildlife—from red squirrels to deer.


I am fascinated by the way paint moves on paper and canvas, offering both the artist and the viewer a new way to see the world. Beyond the easel, I enjoy sharing this process through my online videos and in-person workshops, inviting others to see the Lake District through a different lens.


I create work for people who seek a bold, contemporary perspective on the Cumbrian landscape. My goal is to bring the wild, unfiltered beauty of the Lake District into your home.

I have recently moved away from social media to focus on a more personal way of sharing my work. If you would like to receive a monthly window into my studio, hear the stories behind the paintings, and get priority access to new originals, please
