Art is my calling. It’s not just what I do, it’s who I am! Through 40 years of ups and downs art has been the one constant in my life. My professional Art career began in March 1991 shortly after the birth of my second son. My hope was to earn the part time paycheck I needed to be a stay at home mom. Eighteen years later, I’ve sold many drawings and paintings and thousands of prints all over the world! Thanks to all the wonderful people who have supported and purchased my art, my dream has become a reality. When I began 19 years ago, all sales happened on the road, there was no internet to connect me to the world. Although I still show in Galleries and sell prints in shops, most of my sales happen online. Welcome to the future! The best benefit to this outlet is that I get the privilege of dealing directly with the people who hang my art on their walls.
I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico less than an hour away from Santa Fe and only a couple hours from my hometown, Las Cruces. I live with my husband Aaron, youngest son Nate and two dogs in a great old house about half a mile from the Rio Grande River. You’ll find us walking along the Bosque (area of trees around the river) or hiking in the Sandia Mountains most sunny mornings. I spend my days (and some nights) working in my studio/gallery, Chroma Studios Gallery, opened in March 2008 by my husband and I. We also rent studio space and represent over 50 other artists in the gallery. I currently work mainly in oils, but I have worked with a variety of mediums. I like to paint a fairly large variety of subject matter but mainly paint abstract expressionist works and what I call my Spiral Abstract Series. I try to portray a feeling of love and peace in my work. My paintings are a personal meditation bringing me closer to my own inner peace and awakening consciousness. My goal is to share these meditations with others in hopes of bringing others closer to their own peace and awakening!

Those paintings are absolutely stunning! Red Sunflower Web is my favourite. I think I’ll use that image now in Burt Goldman’s Daisy Pond meditation.
All the paintings clearly show why Paula’s art is her calling – they draw you in with the vibrancy and life. Truly exquisite. Next time I’m in the USA, I’ll think I’ll make a detour to her place.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments! I truly appreciate your time and consideration!
Peace and love,
