Art has always been her first love. She started drawing

a graphic designer, producing posters for the UC Davis

After finishing a 4-year program in a record 3 years,
8 months, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in
Illustration and is now enjoying a career as an Artist.
Paula also enjoys quilting, knitting and making handmade
jewelry, which she sells online and at local venues.
