Hello friends! This is the first ‘newsletter’ that I will be sending on an consistently irregular basis. Mostly, when I have news. And now is one of those times! I have now been living in Tampa, Florida for a year and am loving the lush greens, the sunny days, and the beautiful water. My art has taken a turn towards abstracted landscapes- with a lot of texture and exploding color. I’m enjoying working on canvas again and with fluid acrylics. All of my work can be seen in the portfolio tab of my website. Please contact me directly if you are interested in owning an original or a print. And for those of you who live in Tampa- I am finally opening my studio for classes! I’ve got several offerings in the Create Yourself Series, which are mini art sessions that center around YOU by adding creativity and positivity to your everyday life. Also, I will be holding a Drawing as Meditation course, which is going to be wonderful. Finally, I am combining my love of art and yoga in a workshop I am doing with Ellen Smoak called Body as Art. Sign up soon as space is limited! Finally, I will be showing my work at two upcoming Ybor Arts Association events: on May 14th at the Cuban Club in downtown Tampa during the Heatwave Music festival and on June 4th at “The Essence of Ybor”. Much love and art, Paula
