Paul de Marrais

Paul de Marrias finds pastels the perfect fit for his temperment and artistic interests. "Color has always been the focus of my paintings," he says, "and pastel has the most beautiful color of any painting medium." Committed to painting en plein air, Paul finds most of his subjects near his farm in Greene County, Tennessee. "The fast-moving light demands speedy, intuitive decisions, and pastel is the ideal medium for this way of working." In addition to painting, Paul also hybridizes daylilies and raises butterflies. He is represented by LizBeth & Co. Fine Art Gallery in Knoxville, TN, Blowing Rock Frameworks and Gallery, Blowing Rock, NC, and Acorns and Ivy, Jonesborough, TN.
