Artist Statement
Paula Izydorek’s artwork hypothesizes how submersion in the natural environment affects ones biochemistry, interpersonal conflicts and overall wellbeing. She utilizes line markings, repetitious forms and material based patterns to metaphorically portray how ones experiential journey exist in a constant state of being altered by the surrounding energy in ones environment.
During Izydorek’s process based exploration, she pairs acrylic paint with birch wood to employ intertwining linear systems and geometric forms that interplay with the surface of the wood while utilizing the naturally occurring grain. Her paintings possess both materiality and immateriality; with subject matter ranging from tangible imagery to the nonphysical representation of thoughts and feelings that harmonize to create a medley of texture, color, and shape. These abstract patterns serve as a recall to the interconnectivity of ones physiological state in response to their immediate environment.

Paula Izydorek (born 1970 in Michigan) is an American painter who earned a BFA at San Francisco Art Institute. Izydorek looks to contemporary painting and the abundant perfection found in nature for continual inspiration. Although she inherently knows the exquisiteness of nature can never be improved upon through the painting process it is her goal to paint homage to its vast heterogeneity of textures, formations and all-encompassing palates. Izydorek is based in Cleveland, Ohio and is exhibited throughout the U.S. A complete CV and more of her artwork can be viewed at www.paulaizydorek.com
