Artist Statement: The wonder of this earth and its Creator come to mind at evening prayer in the passage from Amos:
Seek him that made the Pleiades and Orion, that turneth deep darkness into the morning, and darkeneth the day into night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his Name.
Amos 5:8
Bio: Artist and author, Paula Wallace, has a studio in the Hot Shops Art Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Wallace, a graduate of the University of Iowa, recalls a professor saying “the artist’s job is to pay attention.” Her art and stories are informed by her work with children and other underserved communities, as well as the urban and rural landscapes in which we dwell.
Wallace has illustrated for other authors, as well as writing and illustrating her own books, including Choose Your Days (Cinco Puntos Press) and Mr. Reginald and the Bunnies (Pomegranate.) Wallace’s work as a fine artist includes many gallery exhibits galleries in the United States and Italy. Her work is held in private collections throughout the United States and internationally.
