Paula writes: My name is Paula Romano. Florham Park, New Jersey has been home for over 30 years and I’ve also spent the last 15 years building beautiful memories in Harwich on Cape Cod. I have drawn since I could hold a crayon and sketched with pencil most of my young and adult life. I became serious about pursuing art nearly 7 years ago ( in my early 60’s ) when I discovered pastels.  My style began as very representational but has become looser with time and confidence.  My work has a strong textural quality.  I often incorporate other media such as ink, high fluid acrylic paint, and decorative/ origami papers into my pastel pieces.
