Shares Her Love and Stories of Family, Friends and Nature

Paula Borsetti creates richly layered abstract paintings that reflect a love of family, friends and nature. Paula’s love of painting began by working from the landscape creating a love of being out in nature and learning from it.

In her work she seeks to capture an essence of time and place. She is interested in creating works with lots of moments and passages, leaving a few quiet spaces amidst the buzz of activity. Each collection starts with a narrative that gets expanded on to create images that while deeply personal become universal.

Paula loves the act of painting, how movement and materials become formal elements, how thoughts and feelings weave in and out and the dance between them all. She states: “I go to the sunrise, to the same beach, in the town I have always lived in. Tides come in, then out, leaving behind a different trace. The same place, yet never the same. This is my act of painting. I come to the studio, put out paint, begin the process, the ebb and flow. At the end of the day, the tide has receded and nothing is the same. Each mark, color and stroke is a new discovery.”

While being an art educator for nearly three decades her creativity and her desire to nurture and learn was fed and blossomed. Paula now has a full time studio practice. She regularly shows locally, nationally and online.

Paula also uses her work to advocate for awareness and a cure for ALS. 

Paula’s art has been selected for the Manhattan Arts International’s “HerStory” 2024 Invitational Exhibition. She has also been curated into our juried exhibitions “The Healing Power of Elements” and The Healing Power of Color”.
