About Me:

My art is about the search for connection…to self, to like minded spirits, to family, and to God. I think the reason that most of my work depicts a sole woman is because these are the stories of my own personal search and the emotions they invoke within my soul. My hope is that the visual stories I create with my art touch people from all walks of life and let them know that they are not alone…and find comfort in that knowing.

Bio
Like many other artists, Paulette has been creative from a very young age. For many years she dreamed of painting, but could never bring herself to pick up a paint brush until October of 2006. That's when her love of creating stories with paint and paper began. Her mixed media paintings are visual stories with many, many layers...not only literally, but figuratively as well. Inspired by her faith, music, nature, and life, her work mainly focuses around spiritual themes meant to uplift and inspire the viewer.

With her background in technical writing and instruction, it was only natural that Paulette would eventually teach painting classes. She now offers online mixed media painting classes via her blog. Wanting to encourage others to face their fears and do the thing that they've always wanted to, her classes are structured to encourage students to explore and trust their creative voices and listen to their intuition.

Paulette lives just outside of Portland, Oregon with her husband and their very busy four year old son Aiden. When she's not busy chasing around her little boy, she loves to paint, take pictures, read anything to do with art and/or design, and make videos about her art.

Calling all Christian mixed media & folk artists!!!

After endless searching for a group for mixed media and folk artists who are Christian and not finding quite what I was looking for (many Christian mixed media/collage artist groups have lots of swaps, round robins, etc. and I am never able to participate those and feel kinda out of place), I decided to start a group myself. :)

My intention is for it to be a place where artists (both new and experienced) who are Christian and also create an… Continue

I like your style. I love the redhead you use for an avatar, was sorry to see it sold out on Etsy, but I guess that's a good thing. :)
