Passionately driven to express the light and color in God’s creations, Paula Winter has been interested in art and design for the majority of her life. With a degree in Graphic Design from the University of Houston, Paula worked in advertising design professionally for several years.

Paula travels across the country to study with many modern day masters of painting such as Huihan Liu, Kevin Macpherson, Walt Gonski, Skip Whitcomb, Matt Smith and many others. She participates in numerous juried shows and her paintings are in several private collections in Texas and across the United States. Paula paints daily in her studios and garden in Houston and Hockley when she is not volunteering at St. Thomas.
