About Paula Mayer

Watercolor Artist

I create custom Watercolor Paintings of people, dresses, jewelry, shoes, settings or anything else memorable from the occasion that you want to preserve in distinctive and enduring Watercolor art. I work from photos so you can easily upload your photos to my website and I ship free anywhere in the US. My turnaround time is 3-4 weeks depending on my work load but can be flexible if a deadline is approaching. If you'd like a painting created from a photo that your professional photographer took, you'll need his/her permission before submitting.

A little about myself: I worked professionally in the bridal industry as a makeup and hair artist for 30 years in San Diego, CA. When we moved to Colorado Springs, CO I traded my makeup brushes for Watercolor brushes. I enjoy painting commissions and collaborating with clients to achieve that special piece of art that makes great gifts! My art has been featured in galleries in San Diego, CA, Fallbrook, CA, Layfayette, CO and most recently in Denver, CO at D'art Gallery.

While the transforming effect of a creamy foundation or a tint of blush to an otherwise monotone complexion gets me every time, I am enamored with the unlimited possibilities of what can happen on paper just by adding water to pigment then continue with layer upon layer of translucent paint to an otherwise blank slate. That is how I am able to create luminous skin with Watercolor.  I'd love to paint for you!
