Paula Swaydan Grebel

Wisconsin artist Paula Swaydan Grebel's paintings bring to life the visual experience of amazing interiors and a journey through carefully curated indoor worlds. Fascinated by the emotional response a space can elicit, Paula’s focus is on the initial moments of entering a space. Spaces infused with the flair of personal taste and history captures her sense with a sense of satisfaction. Her paintings flushed with color and finished with confident brushwork, demonstrate quiet moments of the everyday. She transports us to light-drenched rooms and intimate views of thoughtful still-life arrangements in her latest series of small oil paintings. Each painting is a testament to Swaydan Grebel's ability to capture the ephemeral, offering viewers a momentary glimpse into calm, domestic spaces.

Born in California, Paula Swaydan Grebel received her BFA with an emphasis in Drawing and a Minor in Textiles from California State University of Long Beach. After moving to Wisconsin in the 1990’s where she raised her two children, Swaydan Grebel has continued her education studying under key perceptual painters whose focus is to challenge what an observational painting can be. Her broad knowledge of art history and theory informs her paintings as well. Her work can be found in numerous public and private collections throughout the United States and Internationally.
