Paul Volker is a native of Columbus, where he studied fine art at The Ohio State University. Volker began working as a freelance cartoonist and illustrator at age 20, but shifted to painting a few years later, using mainly recycled house paints on various materials, including rubber, plywood, and even bread.

“I enjoy experimenting with different materials. For me, a painting shouldn’t just be a picture of something, but should be a unique object in itself, on which the picture is placed.”
