Angelic Visions

Artwork by Paula Marie Deubel (P. Mari)

I’ve been drawing since I learned to hold a pencil; my grandmother encouraged me by showing me how to draw horses (at that time, they were my favorite subject). I drew hundreds and hundreds of horses, even at school and in Sunday School class. Scolded often by teachers, I kept on drawing in secret! Finally, when I was nine-year-old, my mother enrolled me in private art classes in East Detroit. After that, I studied under various artists for about ten years. I later began to draw and paint angels, as the creative process truly is an observance of “angelic visions.”

Presently, I’m primarily a painter (oil, acrylic, watercolor), but also continue to draw. Fifty-two of my drawings illustrated my poetry book, “Poems of Love & Madness” in 2005. I often feel like a drawing machine!

I think Drawing Academy is an excellent outlet for artists, especially those from the classic and traditional schools.

People should vote for me if they can see the “angel inside most of my work.”
