Paul Coney was born in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1957, and arrived in New Zealand in 1961. Having lived all over New Zealand he has now settled in the Franklin district of New Zealand's North Island, where he lives with his wife and fellow artist Marietta.
Having started as a watercolourist, Paul Coney has developed into an exceptional painter of large scale oils. His subject matter covers the spectrum from Floral, Floral Landscape, Figurative and general Landscape to very large brilliantly executed Wave Studies and Seascapes, often incorporating figures and wildlife into these major works that exude mood, character.

Paul Coney's consumate skill is in bringing together many seemingly disparate elements into compositions of unique and intimate beauty, portraying nature in all it's forms and cycles, and incorporating the character of whatever the key elements of the painting happen to be. Paul exhibited his work through the International Art Centre in Parnell for over thirty years, as well as exhibiting through many other galleries throughout New Zealand and overseas. He spends a lot of his time fulfilling the huge demand for commissioned works. His paintings are held in private collections throughout the world including U.S.A., Canada, Hawaii, United Kingdom, France, China, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia and New Zealand.
