Art has played a major role in Paulette's life for over 40 years. She began painting professionally and exhibiting at art shows in 1964.  She has owned two art galleries for two decades, exhibiting her own artwork and other artists.  Since 1994, she has focused souly on commissioned paintings and murals.  She travels to other states across the country to paint murals and paintings for individuals, architects and designers.  For the last four years, she has painted angels - her own interpretation of the angels of peace, love, hope, happiness, joy, compassion, protection and healing and, also, personal guardian angels.
 
Paulette intuitively paints the angels for children with life-threatening illnesses in the hospitals free of charge as they often talk with their angels and know what they look like. She also teaches art and painted guardian angels for children at Camp Jordana, the Mayo Clinic camp for cancer kids.  She paints angels for everyone when asked.
 
Another specialty is her unique pet portraits.  She captures the personality and spirit of each animal, be it dog, cat, horse or bird. The client often will have the background to include their home, the yard or something special to the pet - such as their favorite toy.
 
Her murals are well known in the Midwest as she has been featured numerous times in the Minneapolis and St. Paul newspapers.  She is unique in that she does not have to sketch her murals before she begins.  She just walks up to wall and paints.   Often there is a great deal of research for the subject matter, but the actual mural is painted freely as paints along the wall.
