Hello
I am Paula VM –
Photographer, Mixed Media Artist, Written word enthusiast
Paula VM is a published photographer and mixed media artist based in Boerne, Texas, with a distinct flair for creating high-end, heirloom portraits and conceptual art. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Paula’s artistic journey was shaped by her early exposure to literature, cinema, and the vibrant world of visual arts. Drawing inspiration from both the light and dark sides of human experience, her work explores the depth of emotion, storytelling, and the fusion of classic and contemporary styles. With over eight years as a Texan, Paula has carved a niche in the art community through her captivating photography, which blends fine art with editorial and film noir influences. Her studio, Paula VM Studio, is located in the heart of Boerne’s historic district, where she collaborates with individuals, families, and businesses to create images that capture authentic moments, brand identity, and artistic vision. Known for her commitment to the community, she has worked with local nonprofits, including The Heart Gallery, photographing children in foster care, Hill Country Daily Bread and many others and regularly supports arts initiatives in the region. Paula’s work transcends traditional photography. She is an advocate for bringing creatives together, hosting artist collaborations, styled shoots, and art events that push boundaries and encourage innovative expression. Her recent focus has been on unscripted, real-life captures of children and families, blending authenticity with artistic spontaneity. Paula has been featured in Bold Journey magazine, spoken on international podcasts and was recently nominated as Business Person of the Year by the Boerne Chamber of Commerce. As she continues to expand her creative portfolio, Paula's passion for art remains rooted in her belief that art should evoke emotion and offer a fresh perspective. Her bold, unapologetic (or as she likes to say, unaPAULAgetic) approach to visual storytelling and her love for mixed media set her apart as an artist who creates not just for her audience but for herself. Paula aspires to collaborate with the City of San Antonio and Boerne to further enrich each cities cultural landscapes through her unique artistic voice and community-driven initiatives.
