Who are you?
I am an artist. I heard someone say once, "Paula isn't an artist, she is a craftsman." Having someone make a statement like that is eye opening and tends to lead to an evaluation of ones work....and life.
In the whole scheme of things, it's a good thing, though a difficult one initially.....The conclusion, yes, I am an artist, because art is what I create. I am also a designer, which some argue is also a 'kind of' artist. I design and create artistic metal for people who want unique metal sculpture in their lives. Some of which happens to be utilitarian.....Metal is my medium, art is what I create from it. Custom work is my livelihood...
How did you get started?
My art career began in the two dimensional, paintings, sketching and the like. My husband, Larry, who
is a millwright, suggested trying metal work. He proceeded to teach me and over 15 years later, the work you see on this site is the result of his tutelage.
In the past, I have worked as a welder fabricator for different business'. In April of 2001 I became
self employed in order to pursue a metal art career through my business Earth Eagle Forge.
The experience that I have gained from first as a two dimensional artist to a three dimensional, allows
for diversity in first conceptualizing an idea and then implementing those ideas into reality. The 'style'
of my work is mainly derived from nature, specifically plant life. Experimentation with the figurative and wildlife have entered the mix as well....
What do you want to accomplish?
My job as a custom artist is to help others acquire pieces they desire in their lives by designing and creating with them in mind. I take this job seriously and feel honored and privileged when someone want something I've created in their lives. I believe art is important in our lives as human beings. Art is a tool for the soul to communicate to the world... Beliefs, a sense of beauty, individual uniqueness....or even a sense of adventure. The ultimate goal of any artist is to help others see the world in
different ways.
When I'm not working on a commission, I'm working on pieces that,hopefully, encourage the viewer to think about the direction of our lives; as individuals and as a people. Attempting to say; life is about choices, think about yours.
Thank you for your interest in Earth Eagle Forge. I hope you enjoy viewing the images of my work. If you have any questions or would like to have your own metal art created, please, don't hesitate to contact us. Larry and I would love to hear from you.
