The Artist

Paula Waterman has been making art all her life and started exhibiting her work professionally in 1981. She has become known internationally for her work in Scratchboard but is gaining recognition for her oil painting as well, a medium she started working with in recent years. Her approach ranges from portrait style to landscape with or without incidental animal subjects. A particular interest in African wildlife and landscape subjects is the cause AND effect of trips to Kenya, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania. She also works a lot with canine and equine subjects. This work is sometimes on commission, other times borne simply of a love for the subject. A common thread in all her work in both media probably be the critical importance of light source and light color; In fact she feels that light is the true subject in all her work.
