Biography:
A recent graduate of the Fine Arts Program at William Woods University,
Paula Kientzel has balanced her studies and works while tending to her
active family's needs at their home in Callaway County. Born and raised
in St. Louis she initiated her formal studies at St. Louis Community
College. The shift to a rural living over a decade ago exposed the artist
to formations of rock and flora which immediately influenced her work.
More recently hands on work with native plants has inspired forms,
shapes, and textures relating to clay sculpture, paintings, and
drawings. Artist's Statement:The imagery in my work is a direct result of my exposure to native geological formations and flora. While in my natural surroundings I am always intrigued by the way in which a grouping of rocks or plants presents interesting relationships between one another.
My goal in this series has been to recreate the structural and social
relationships I have discovered.
