The Latest from American Women Artists

Carrie Waller Abundance

Paula resides on the East Coast along with her husband Chuck and her studio companion “Timber”, her “Velcro” Golden Retreiver. “Waxhaw is a small community just south of Charlotte, N.C., where we joke that the horses still outnumber the people. Although I paint just about anything that grabs my attention, I am always partial to painting our East Coast marshes and coastline.”

Rosetta
The Society of Animal Artists compiled a list recently of 43 Distinguished Signature Members who have been included in at least 15 of their Annual Exhibitions and Rosetta is on
that list, along with such renowned artists as Robert Bateman, John Banovich, NancyHowe, Sherry Salari Sander and Carel Pieter Brest van Kempen.  With over five hundred of the world’s best animal artists from six continents as members, it is truly an honor for her to have been accepted into so many of these tightly juried exhibitions.
