Paulette Licitra

I’m a self-taught artist who started painting in 2011, and take my inspiration from naive and primitive painters. One of my career paths was writing art exhibition audio tours. Diving deep into every artwork to bring the listener the life within and behind the art. I’ve written over 100 art exhibition tours for museums all over the country.

I work in acrylic on canvas, usually at night, when the world has quieted down.

In my other life, I teach Italian cooking in Nashville and bring small groups to Italy to cook & wine tour. I appear frequently on WSMV-TV, Nashville's NBC affiliate, as Chef Paulette. And perform in the band Duette with Duane Spencer.
