She is absolutely driven and inspired, and the products of her hands and the sharpness of her eye have long had my jaw agape. She achieves srustic perfection with every piece she creates.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739438261989035862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699871114598432131.post-63862198969813508362010-06-20T18:44:36.576-07:002010-06-20T18:44:36.576-07:00Thanks Betsy!

Wonderful feature on a wonderful artist!<br />It feels to me that Paula works like a painter; painting fields of color with rusted metal and slivers of abandoned wood. She has a heightened sense of color and balance. Each piece grounds the viewer while simultaneously making us forget and transcend the weight and physical reality of the materials. How does she do that? <br />As a person and artist, she is a powerful and grounding force. She is direct in her approach to artmaking and fearless in her use of physical and tangible materials. <br />Thanks also for the link to her website.Kendra Zvonikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454641379330296195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699871114598432131.post-65394526463302267462010-06-20T07:07:29.745-07:002010-06-20T07:07:29.745-07:00What a wonderful feature!
