Paula Waterman

Her approach ranges from portrait-like animals to landscapes with or without wildlife. Paula has a particular interest in wading birds, dogs, horses and the large african game animals. A common thread in all her work is the critical importance of the light scource and light color; in fact she feels that light is her actual subject in all her work.

Paula Waterman is a member of the American Society of Marine Artists and the Society of Animal Artists. In 1992 she was juried into a National Wildlife Art Exhibit, juried by noted artist Robert Bateman. She has exhibited regularly at the International "Birds in Art" juried exhibition at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum.

She has also exhibited at the Nicolaysen Art Museum, the Blauvelt Museum and was selected for the top 100 artists in the 1993 Arts for the Parks exhibit. She has had work shown in the Mystic International Annual exhibit . Her scratchboard of a Great Horned Owl is included in the Atlas of North American Birds - Owls, published by Jeffery Whiting in 1997. A feature article on her work was published in Wildlife Art magazine in early 1997.

Paula does her own reference photography and prepares for her artwork with studies and sketches. In addition to numerous shows and exhibitions each year, Paula tries to make a trips to various destinations to gather reference material, most recently to Africa.
