“Everyone is creative, in their own way, so go out and find it.”
My name is Paula T. Guerin, and I'd like to welcome you to my website! I am a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, lived in San Francisco for several years and now call Atlanta home. I've dabbled in arts and crafts for as long as I can remember. Although I have no formal art education, I have taken a few art classes and fancy myself an artist. I received a degree in Interior Design from the University of Wisconsin and worked in commercial Interior Design for 12 years, where I met unforgetable, creative people. After leaving interior design, I worked part time in addition to being a stay-at-home mom. Eventually, I returned to the arts field through rubber stamping, which has evolved into collage, art journaling and 3-d collage.
I currently work part time purchasing rubber stamps for Binders art store, so I get to shop free. I teach occasional classes in the art store, where I oversee a rubber stamp club every month. I also teach kindergarten on a part time basis which is a fun job, especially watching the children discover their creativity. I live with my husband and son who are extremely supportive when I am happily wallowing in design and creativity.
I have had work published in The Studio Zine, The Studio Zine Reloaded, Somerset Studio and Rubberstampmadness.
I am forever inspired by my garden, my kitchen art studio, music, books (especially the ones with pictures), estate sales(where I find unique treasures with a past life) and most of all, my moods and life experiences. Please check the links below of individuals who have influenced my art, and other cool zines and publications:
I hope you enjoy my artwork; if you would like to contact me, please e-mail me at

“Now, go have fun and try to do something creative everyday. The more you practice the better you get, something that's true in all aspects of life, including ART!”
