San Diego-based artist, Paul Strahm, brings out the FINE in America’s
FINEST City in his vivid, internationally collected paintings. Each
image is thoughtfully painted to capture the landscape, lifestyle of the
area, and its people. Viewing this fine artist’s work will pull you into
the scene—again and again—offering you memories that last a lifetime.
Strahm’s passion for painting began when he was young, as did his love
for the outdoors. His rural Ohio upbringing allowed him to intimately
explore nature on his family’s country farm. After high school, Paul
attended Youngstown State University where he studied art and became
fascinated with the French Impressionist painter, Paul Cezanne. Cezanne
influenced Strahm and he began to emulate Cezanne’s vibrant hues and his
love of “plein air” painting*. Not long after receiving his fine arts
degree in painting, Paul moved west to San Diego, a climate very similar
to Cezanne’s favorite haunts in the south of France.
