Paula Whalen

Paula Whalen is an artist/illustrator living on the edge of the wild Atlantic in Hull, MA. She is currently focused on a recycle/recreate project since February 2023. My Daily Cuppa, is an art project founded on the love of a daily cup of tea. A reminder of the tea she shared with her grandmother, connecting to a sense of ritual, a daily act becoming mini & poetic. While preparing to teach a recycle art class to kids, Paula thought “What can I do with a tea bag”? She started spontaneously painting on them using landscapes, critters, ghosts, and people she loves to create tiny tea bag images. These small paintings remind us how to find beauty in simple, daily habits.
Paula is also on a journey of writing and illustrating a series of children’s books, “The Adventures of Pippin & Pongo…”

When not making art, Paula enjoys reading mysteries, thrifting, and walks on the beach with her cat Pippin & dog Pongo. Paula lives with her artistic spouse in an eclectic beach house. She also loves driving to Brooklyn to visit her adult kiddo who makes costumes in NYC.
