Paula K. Zeller Art
​
​
How amazing that we, the air, and everything around us are made of atoms that are in constant motion. Even in stillness, the world is very much alive. I paint to reveal the dynamic atmospheres within and around my subjects: people, interiors, and everyday objects. The subtleties of light and edges are part of this captivating dance.
