Passion drives my art
The pure love of color, texture and light
The ability to bring something to life
That never before existed
I thrive on the challenge
To push something through
to the next level
always taking the risk
always moving forward
The ability of the human spirit
And it's ability
To rise against adversity
Is a constant inspiration
I search for it in
history
literature
and music
Particularly in the lives of those around me
Through my work
I hope to offer this optimism

Paula Des Jardins
These are the words of Paula Des Jardins, a local artist whom I had the pleasure of meeting a number of years ago when the La Jolla design firm I was working at was displaying some of her oil paintings in their showroom. I instantly fell in love with her abstracts.
UNTITLED ABSTRACT
Since a computer monitor generally compromises the true beauty of a painting, I was hesitant about showing her artwork online. But Paula's paintings have an intensity that manages to still come through, even on a computer.
STATE OF BALANCE
BREAKING THROUGH II
IT'S ALL GOOD
Every other month Paula opens her studio to visitors for a viewing of her work, which is really the very best way to experience her creations. Just think of how incredible these paintings are live and in person! She will be holding her next "Open Studio Night" on May 14th, 2010 and I strongly encourage anyone who will be in the San Diego area to attend. You will not be disappointed. Check out her website for further information and to view more of her work.

Wow, her paintings are gorgeous! Wish I lived near San Diego so I could go to her open studio night.
