Cristina Grajales Gallery welcomes you to Pathways, Pergolas, and Transporters, an online exhibition of new and existing works for sale by Paula Hayes.
Celebrated for her otherworldly art and design for over two decades, Hayes currently lives and works in upstate New York. Hayes' work often straddles between the natural world and a world yet-to-be that could only exist within the mind of the artist. Each piece either references familiar botanical imagery or incorporates living flora. Hayes effortlessly invites us to experience this world, a self-described sci-fi garden that she has been tending to for over twenty years. Please join us in entering Paula Hayes' mental pathways, pergolas, and transporters.
"It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end."

I am weaving robes and headdresses for the nature spirit forms I live with, in the cloistered world I have created, in this time. In the garden for the pollinators I tend, I gather up the sun and the minerals, and take it all to the loom. Children, who need us, as mothers, and we, who need them as stars, are in the warp and weft of the robes. Protection, adoring love, fecundity….
