Abstract Expressionism with Pauly Tamez 🎨

June 20, 2026 | 10AM-1PM

Pauly Tamez is an abstract expressionist and impressionistic landscape painter whose work is an exploration of color, form, and emotion. Primarily working in oil paints, Pauly creates compositions that pulsate with energy and invites viewers into a world of boundless creativity. His watercolor studies serve as a foundation for larger oil paintings, allowing for a deep exploration of the Texas landscape that ultimately informs his abstract work Through the intentional use of contrasting and complementary colors, as well as fluid, organic shapes, Pauly aims to evoke a range of emotions and inspire others to embrace their own creative spirit.
