Artist Statement:
I specialize in unusual one of
a kind contemporary abstract
art created using glass like
pigmented epoxy resin. My art
consists of interactive layers
of resin along with added
elemental textures that
conspires to create a
distinctively contemporary
vision. These visual bursts of
form and color allow ones mind
to explore my images at a
pleasing rhythm.
My artwork is created using
resin as the medium. I begin
by grinding dry pigments into
the crystal clear resin. The
resin starts off as a thin
maple syrup then slowly
thickens to a thick honey and
finally a hard gel. The resin
is under constant movement for
hours. This alchemical process
allows for fluid, translucent
layers of color that cannot be
achieved in any other medium.
The ability to move and
rearrange the mutable image
for hours on end is
fascinating to watch. An image
gestates, grows and develops a
life and personality of its
own.

| Your Personal Biography |
Paul has been involved in the photographic process for over 38 years. His work with texture and color has brought him critical acclaim in Los Angeles where he has lived for the past 25 years before moving to Nevada. His fascination with working with his hands has given him the ability to be very patience allowing him to create elaborate textures and colors on his finished prints
Paul became in involved with Polaroid Time Zero Film just a few years ago, the film that was used to create his photographic images, and stayed with it till the end of the films lifetime which ended in 2006. The process was very creative with the ability to physically move the jelly like emulsion as the image developed sometimes recreating a totally new image from the original scene.
Beginning in 2006 Paul began exploring the use of epoxy resins in his artwork and has not looked back since. Paul discovered that the freedom of mixing his own pigments and dyes into the resins allows for transparent layers that cannot be achieved in any other medium. The ability to move and rearrange the image for hours is fascinating to watch as the image grows and develops a life and personality of its own. The high gloss along with added textures and materials create a very modern look.
