Don't Forget Me

Private Swimming Pool, 2008

 Pass Christian, Mississippi

Paula was reared in Mobile, Alabama, where her roots still run deep.  She completed her art studies at Boston University and established herself as an artist in New York City while still a young woman.

In the mid-1990s Paula spent 18 months commuting to the Gulf Coast for an art commission at the Mobile Infirmary Medical Center, producing a 74-foot long photo mural celebrating the local geography; it is still the largest photograph in the world and the first to be made with archival glass tiles of her own invention. Mobile Infirmary's Centennial is October 10th, 2010.

Raised in a Jewish household in the South during the Civil Rights era of the 1960s, Paula can identify with the people neglected and displaced by Hurricane Katrina and the recent oil spill's travesty.

Her photographic goal now is to keep alive the memory of a world-famous regional culture and lifestyle that has been wiped out.
