About Paula Bellacera

Paula Bellacera is an award-winning artist, accomplished in a wide variety of media. This year at Sacramento Open Studios, in addition to her ceramic animal sculptures and paintings, her abstract paintings will be available.

Bellacera is a Sacramento native. She studied animal behavior in the swamps of Louisiana and received a PhD in experimental psychology from Tulane University. Bellacera’s fascination with animals and the hours she studied their unique characteristics in the wild gave voice to her artwork. She explores how domestic and wild animals literally and metaphorically mirror human nature reminding us that we share emotions and DNA.

Since 1990 Bellacera has exhibited work domestically and internationally with over 40 solo/feature shows in cities such as: Santa Fe, Chicago, Katmandu, San Francisco, Denver, and Seattle. In 2014 she had a solo exhibition at the Morris Graves Museum in Eureka, CA. She has won several awards and has been featured in exhibition catalogs, books, and magazines. Bellacera has received public art grants and has been commissioned to create collections of work.
