Paul used to work with oils, which she prefers — her
favorite artists are Henri Matisse and Georgia O’Keeffe
— but now works mainly with acrylic as it’s easier
to carry outdoors, her favorite place to paint.

We know family matters above all,
and losing a loved one is the most difficult thing
you may experience. We also know everyone
grieves in their own unique way.

Our directors face grief and bereavement
every day and can provide you with resources,
because we understand how much it can hurt.

“When I came to this country, I said, ‘When I get older, I’m
going to draw in an art class,’” Paul added.

At first, learning about art took form solely through observa-
tions. Two Italian brothers joined the rest of the immigrants in her
English class in 1930. In the winter, she recalled, the brothers drew
extravagant designs of Santa Claus or Christmas landscapes on
the chalkboard. She was so impressed by their talents that she
wanted to learn how to do the same.

During World War II, while her husband was in the army,
Paul got a job at a photography studio. She colored black-and-
white photographs — this was before colored film — using
coloring oils.

But it wasn’t until Paul had her only daughter, Susan, that she
finally took an art class. She went to Fleisher Art Memorial in
South Philadelphia and dropped Susan off for children’s classes
while she went upstairs for adult classes.

She also studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts,
the Barnes Foundation and the Philadelphia College of Art (now the
University of the Arts). Later on, she taught a few classes herself in
her own home.

She’s since won many prizes for her work; she keeps them in
a hefty basket in her basement studio.

Paul used to work with oils, which she prefers — her favorite
artists are Henri Matisse and Georgia O’Keeffe — but now works
mainly with acrylic as it’s easier to carry outdoors, her favorite
place to paint.

She often paints the scenery at Haverford College or Fairmont
Park, which she can see across the street from her house.

Many of her family members decorate their own homes with
Paul’s pieces. (Still more adorn Paul’s walls.)
