About Paul . . .
I am an artist who works in several medias - primarily ceramics, oil painting, photography, and wood.
My work is a mirror of my surroundings. Having done my undergraduate work on the Minnesota prairie, I became acutely aware of the subtleties in color of the landscape. My photographic work began to focus on the luminous panoramic views. After leaving the prairie I settled in the St. Croix River Valley, here the natural beauty of the river, the fleeting light that changes the forms on riverbanks, and of course the beautiful, ever-changing colors, of not just each season, but throughout every day has been a dramatic influence on my art as well.
The colors we see in nature bring a certain emotion to each of us. I view my work as a vehicle to share the joy of color and form with others - through the “The Color of Sight”.
