BACKGROUND

Paul Pedulla has a BA from Boston College and studied with Katherine Martin Widmer at The School of Painting in Somerville. His emergence as an artist has been rapid and his paintings can be found in homes and businesses around the country and abroad. He has had pieces accepted into many juried venues, including exhibitions at Boston Public Library, Heartwood College of Art in Maine, Boston’s South End Open Studios, Mass General Hospital's Illuminations program and more.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My work generally provides the viewer with a glimpse, not a full scene. What you see is a moment, often revealing something about the relationship between neighboring houses, adjacent windows, the sky and the sea or between a window and the world it views. Sometimes inanimate elements of my paintings feel human and endearing.

I begin with almost naive ideas about space and place. The idea may be a real place I can see at the time or something that exists in my mind, such as a memory. Then I start a journey with my canvas. The most exciting part of the trip is not knowing exactly where I’ll end up. I invite you to experience where some of these adventures have taken me. But your interpretations may take you to places I’ve never even been.
