Paula Ross, Venice Artist
On December 19, long-time Venice resident and
artist, Paula Ross, passed away. Paula’s life was art. There wasn’t
one thing she touched that didn’t become more beautiful because of her
talent.
She is best known for her hand-tinted photographs
of famous jazz icons. Her vast library of work includes everyone from Billie
Holiday and Chet Baker to Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah
Vaughan.
Her work has been displayed in
Hal’s for many years, has been exhibited in galleries and museums and is
part of many private collections.
Paula
is survived by her daughter Pam Ross Hull and granddaughters Eliza Jazz, Zoe
Skyz, and Adizen Izabella.
She will be
greatly missed by all who knew and loved
her.
A memorial will be held sometime in
the near future. If you would like more information about it, please send your
e-mail address to <gailvenice@yahoo.com> and details will be forwarded to
you when they are finalized.
