That’s the modest reply you’ll get from artist Paula Renee if you ask her where she gets her inspiration. The talented, multi-media artist from Danbury, Connecticut has been known to incorporate a variety of disparate elements into her art, including scrap telephone wires she talked an AT&T repairman into giving her. (She wrapped the wire with yarn and twisted them into different shapes or used them in an ancient Ghiordes knot that she wove into the warp on her loom). Some narrow rubber hose her husband thoughtfully retrieved from curbside did not go to waste. (He had a hunch she could use them). She’s even recycled small scraps of wood left behind by her late father, a master marquetry craftsman.
The reuse, recycling and rebirth of everyday objects are among Paula’s favorite ways of imbuing her work with unexpected nuances. She’s also been known to combine two mediums, such as painting and weaving, by cutting up her paintings and weaving them back together on her loom. Whatever the medium, Paula excels in reinterpreting the natural world around her in a riot of color that upends the traditional color wheel in a radiant, dazzling celebration of life.
