Paula Wenzl

Sacramento native, Paula Wenzl has created a remarkable portfolio of pictures that impressionistically conveys the structures, signs, and cultural artifacts of the Sacramento area. Ms. Wenzl’s images are rich with color and full of enthusiasm. Her technique produces unique and alluring images that blur the lines between photography and painting. She begins with Polaroid photographs and physically manipulates the emulsion; then she enlarges the photographs onto watercolor paper. Each enlargement is embellished with dyes, pastels, pencils, paints, or other handwork, creating a one-of-a-kind print. She has won several awards and has been published in books and magazines. Her works are part of numerous public and private collections and have been exhibited internationally including in Chicago, Katmandu, San Francisco, and Seattle.

All of Wenzl’s Hand-Embellished Monoprints are available framed or unframed in three different sizes: 11” x 11”, 16” x 16”, and 23” x 23”. Contact Gallery for current availability.
