Paula Nelson, The Sawkill at Zena, etching, 3” x 4”
Painter and printmaker Paula Nelson came to Woodstock in 1966 to study landscape painting with Robert Angeloch at the Art Students League Summer School – in the buildings now occupied by the Woodstock School of Art. She was Registrar at the League Summer School for many years, and also at the fledgling Woodstock School of Art, where she was a student in the early days on Speare Road and Millstream Road. She has been an Active Member of the Woodstock Artists Association since 1968, and was Resident Director of their Burr House for six years. She became Vice-President of the Woodstock School of Art in 1980. Soon afterwards she became Director, and eventually President. Nelson retired from those positions in 2010 but maintains her involvement with the WSA, serving as Secretary on the Board of Directors.
Nelson works in various media including oil, watercolor, etching, lithography, block printing, monotype, and collage. In 1997 she and her husband, John Kleinhans, founded Precipice Publications and have produced several books on photography and art.
The Sawkill Stream at Zena was one of the places in Woodstock where Robert Angeloch often went to paint and draw, and where he frequently took his landscape classes when he taught at the Art Students League and the Woodstock School of Art. The variety of reflections in the stream created a rich source of subject matter for him and his students throughout the years.
