Paula Crane

Born in Kansas City, Missouri on September 2^nd, 1945, Paula became interested with art when she lived in Oldenburg, West Germany. She has since received a Master of Fine Arts Degree form the University of Colorado in Boulder. She became a instructor of Silkscreen at that same University, where she began producing her own work.  Her work is now popular throughout the United States. A lot of her work's inspiration comes from backpacking in the mountains of the West.
