Paul Ecke was educated at California State University, Fullerton, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Art Degree with emphasis in both painting and ceramics. His paintings reflect his study of ceramics, often described as having a three-dimensional quality through the multi layered application of textural media to his works on panel. Regardless of the subject, Paul Ecke’s work continues to evoke soulful responses from viewers who often find themselves mesmerized in front of Ecke’s abstract works. People are drawn to the expressive brushstrokes, colors and textures that have become his signature.

His works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Manila, Philippines, Florida’s Museum of Arts and Science, University of Michigan Museum of Art, De Saisset Museum of Art, Santa Clara, Crocker Museum of Art, Sacramento, and the Chapman University. He has shown in galleries in New York, Chicago, San Diego, Palm Springs, Florida, the Philippines and Indonesia. His works are in many private and corporate collections including those of Universal Studios, and Flojet Corporation.
