About the Author

Paul Rafferty, as a musician, moved from London to California in 1989, writing, recording and performing with many leading artists of the day. Later, as an artist, he moved to the French Riviera in 2008, where he became familiar with - and fascinated by - Winston Churchill's paintings in Provence.

A highly successful artist in his own right, Rafferty has exhibited around the world and is represented by the Portland Gallery in London. He also has his own gallery in St Paul de Vence on the Riviera where he lives with his wife, Isabelle and three children, Emanuelle, Charlotte and Harrison.

Reviews

'Paul Rafferty's excellent book, Winston Churchill: Paintings on the French Riviera, is like a well-curated exhibition. Sir Winston Churchill loved the Riviera, he was at home there and it clearly inspired him to paint at this best.' - H.R.H The Prince of Wales
