    Printer-friendly Artist Sheet

    Since the mid-1980's, Dean Paules has devoted himself to portraiture. Upon graduating high school, Paules studied electronics and later graduated from Rehrig Technical School in Baltimore. Although Paules' career was successful, including working for two corporations and being vice-president of one industry, he sold his plastics molding firm and turned to portraiture full time.

    Primarily self-taught, Paules has taken numerous seminars with renowned portrait artists, and is a member of the American Society of Portrait Artists. In 1991, he won the John Howard Sanden Award for excellence in Portrait Painting at the National Portrait Seminar in Atlanta. Among his many commissions are Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. George Hitchings, and former North Carolina Governor Dan Moore.

    Whether a Paules portrait emphasizes emotion or restraint, it is always a minutely detailed painting, unerringly true to life. He paints palpable textures as lustrous satin, crisply delicate laces, and richly burnished wood. Of his art, Paules says that through the medium of skilled portraiture, the human face, and more importantly, the personality of an individual, can be captured as a lasting treasure. "How marvelous that the last creative act of God, his crowning piece of handiwork, was mankind; immortality set in motion by the Creator." Paules believes it to be a challenge and a thrill to be a portrait artist, and deeply enjoys the excitement of each new portrait. Working closely with his subjects, the finished works represents in the painted face and form the very personification of the subject.
