Artist Statement/Bio: ARTIST STATEMENT

'Paula loves to paint' says my kindergarten report card. This remains as true today as it was then. I am fascinated by light, by the interplay of light and shadow, by the tactility of paint, by color. I love how the human face and the landscape are both constantly changing I enjoy painting both the external likeness of a person or animal as well as connecting to and showing their soul on my canvas. When I paint the landscape I am preserving a vanishing treasure."
