Calm within Chaos Painting

I have been a painter all my life! Whether I am expressing my thoughts through science, decorating my home, raising my children, or working in the garden, color is an integral part of my life. I took to oils only recently. My inspiration is my world, my thoughts, desires and expectations. I live life like there is no tomorrow, and I hope you will see that through my paintings. I paint my travels, my abstract thoughts, my gardens and anything that fascinates me. Sometimes, I paint nothing in particular! I am fascinated by color. Growing up, they called me “little bird” because of the bold choices in colors I used to wear. Slowly, I started noticing that even under the most dire circumstances, people all over the world use bold colors in their attire. I always used color to uplift my mood and wondered - could color mend a broken spirit? Could it be a cure for depression? Perhaps color does something positive to our limbic systems and uplifts us. I invite you to enjoy my art collection, called Synesthesia. Synesthesia is the stimulation of one sensory pathway that produces an involuntary effect in a secondary sensory pathway. Could it be that color sparks synesthesia and involuntarily evokes feelings of joy? My name is Hyacinth Paul. I am a retired scientist and college professor, an entrepreneur, author, artist, community volunteer and philanthropist. I am a mother of two beautiful children, and I live in Dayton, OH with my best friend - my husband!
