Paula Waterman can’t remember a time she wasn’t making art. For the past 2 decades she has been doing just that on a full time basis. Her subject matter is mostly the animals she sees in the wild and in the company of people. She has a particular interest in birds, and of dog subjects, though landscape and marine subjects are also important to her. This work is sometimes on commission, other times borne simply of a love for the subject She started as a professional working in the medium of Scratchboard but in recent years oil painting has been her main medium along with bronze sculpture. A common thread in all her work in both media probably is the critical importance of light source and light color; In fact she feels that light is the true subject in all her work.
Paula’s artworks can be found in hundreds of private and corporate collections, and in several museum collections. She is an Artist (‘Signature’) Member of the American Society of Marine Artists. She served for a time on the executive board of the Society of Animal Artists and is a signature member, and has participated in the Woodson Art Museum’s flagship exhibition ‘Birds in Art’ 23 of the past 26 years; and Several of her works are in the permanent collection of the museum. In 2009 she was the resident artist at Woodson Art Museum as she shared the medium of Scratchboard with visiting school children as a part of the museum’s ongoing education program. Her work is represented in galleries in Maryland, Connecticut and New York.Paula’s artworks can be found in hundreds of private and corporate collections, and in several museum collections.
