Paulette Insall

Artist Statement:

I create beautiful abstract art that speaks to the heart…that sparks joy and hope in the midst of this noisy and chaotic world. I see beauty as an invitation to connect with that which is bigger than ourselves…a way to experience a sense of the eternal, the source of all that is good and beautiful. My nature inspired art beckons you to a place where you not only feel connected to the beauty of being alive, but also to what lies beyond our sight. -- Paulette Insall, the artist
