At NSAA she has developed art classes, workshops, artist in residence and community outreach programs throughout south east Wisconsin.

Paula graduated in Illustration and Graphic Design at MIAD with graduate course work with the Museum School in Boston. Since completing college she has held almost every career in the arts. She has taught as the Milwaukee Art Museum, West Bend Art Museum, MIAD and the Wustum Art Museum. She has held many artistic positions such as gallery director, window designer, muralist and graphic designer. 5 years ago she was voted among one the most influential woman artists in Milwaukee by The Journal Sentinel.

In 2010 she was elected to a 3 year appointment to the Village of Grafton Arts Board. She is the Program Director for North Shore Academy of the Arts and the Director of newly founded Arts Mill.
