This is where I let myself play. Bits of Metallic Gold, Turquoise, Indigo — I moved the paper and watched the paint pool here, find a path there, travel somewhere I hadn't planned. I was more adventurous with this one and the painting rewarded me with something more intricate and complex than anything that had come before it.

When I look at these five paintings together, something happens. The everyday falls away. I am at the water's edge, and I am in the flow.

That is what I was looking for in that exam room, and somehow — three weeks, one return trip, and a lot of Yupo paper later — I found it.

Paula Kirsch, Abstract Artist

Paula Kirsch is a Connecticut-based abstract artist whose work begins, always, with water. Using acrylics and inks on canvas, Yupo paper, and wood panel, she draws from a life spent near lakes and now the Long Island Sound— their depth, their stillness, their constant quiet movement. Her paintings hold something of that.
