As Thy Song Flows Through Me, oil painting by Paula Zima
"The Red Swimsuit"


"Does the world really need more art?"

This is a question that I kept asking myself. It may be like asking if the world really needs more flowers, but the root question was whether I ought to personally make more art, or go get a real job.

I set out on a on a quest to figure this thing out. I spent several months sculpting for Allan Houser, in Santa Fe, New Mexio, then continued on by myself to France and Italy to see what I could see.

I saw lots of beloved art in museums and public places. Somewhere in Italy in Florence actually, I started seeing every person and thing as a painting or sculpture, and thought this might be a sign. I didn't get my truly final answer until months later however, unpacking my belongings and settling into a new place after a year of travel.

I was feeling a sadness,  becoming rooted again after traveling so freely, until I unpacked the boxes containing my collection of art treasures. Suddenly the house became my home, alive with expression, I found myself whistling... and realized "This, is why I make art!"

If art is the expression of the human condition,  then my way is to express the love, joy and tenderness I find here.  I rarely focus on angst, anger, uglyness or sadness, unless, as in the painting  "The Burial of the Sardine" (after Goya) it is to find a bit of merriment about it.  My love for the natural world, and intelligent creative ways of living in it are what I hope comes across in my work.

I offer artwork in many forms - painting and sculpture, in several price ranges, for yourself or as gifts.  The site is here for you to purchase from,  or simply to enjoy.
