Born in Illinois, Paula is a first generation self taught artist currently living in Stowe, VT. In the spring of 2003, Paula left her home in Arizona and a 20-year massage therapy practice to travel around the United States camping and hiking while looking for a place to live and to find a creative outlet for herself. By summer of 2005, Paula settled in Vermont where she began working with found objects and photography as a way to capture texture and mood. Her work is an expression of her fascination with Vermont and the objects that are discarded in scrap yards, barns and industrial areas.
In Fall 2005, Paula exhibited at her first show, For Arts Sake sponsored by the Helen Day Art Center and won a juried award for Mixed Media. Other exhibits have included Burlington South End Art Hop and in New York at the "RAW Arts Festival New York 2007". In May 2007, her work was included in a group show with comments by the Editor of Art New England.
Paula also continues to challenge herself to find new ways to present photography. Her view is that framing a photograph and sticking it under glass "suffocates" the work. She is interested in bringing photography to life and using other mediums and ways to present the work that brings it to life.
