Watermedia by Paula

About the Artist

Paula Grookett

I am an artist who lives and paints in Columbia, SC.  I have always been drawn to the watercolor medium but have had no formal training in art, painting or drawing.  I retired in 1996 after working for 32 years with the public school system where I taught English in middle and high schools and served as a middle school librarian and a district instructional media/technology administrator.  In 1999 I decided to pursue an interest in watercolor so I signed up for an art class and discovered that I loved painting!  I constantly seek inspiration from my surroundings and from the artists in my community.  I am a member of three art guilds in the Columbia area.  I am very active in and volunteered my time and computer skills to the Trenholm Artists Guild by designing and maintaining their website (www.trenholmartistsguild.org).  I recently was commissioned to build and maintain the Crooked Creek Art League's website (www.crookedcreekart.org).  I hope you will visit those sites too!

I try to spend a part of each day drawing or painting.  Sometimes I do this at home in a room that I have made into my "studio."  I also paint each Wednesday with the Trenholm Artists Guild at Forest Lake Park here in Columbia.  I especially enjoy painting flowers but other subjects entice me from time to time.  I recently have taken up painting portraits.  I also have begun to explore the world of acrylics and hope to show some of my acrylic work here in the near future.
