Paula Art: Has Me Puzzled

For those of you who enjoy mixed media art, I highly recommend that you visit Paula Art. Although Paula McCullough works is no stranger to a variety of mediums — including pen and ink, photography, and wild barnyard assemblages — my favorite work of hers has to be her puzzle art (shown here), which is comprised of thousands of puzzle pieces assembled on either wood or metal boards. Paula seems to be very in touch with her art and what it signifies in her life. She describes the process of creating art as “falling into a long tunnel and being swept through it at a terrific speed. Only in the end can I see where I’ve been, that’s when I look at the work and see how it became what it is. When I am spat from the tunnel I am different than I was before I fell into it.” Paula hails from rustic Stowe, Vermont, but this winter her puzzle works will be exhibited in New York at the ‘RAW Arts Festival New York 2007′– so if you’re in the Big Apple, go take a look at Paula’s and other raw materials artists’ refreshingly funky work.
