Paula Allen’s Bio
Paula Allen’s professional career has a strong focus on improving lives using the power and impact of art. In 2016, Allen received her MFA in Film from Vermont College of Fine Art. Her wide range of knowledge in multiple art platforms makes her a versatile artist, designer and instructor in visual arts and in film. Allen’s impact in the arts has reached hundreds of thousands of families worldwide. She received a Humanitarian of the Year Award in 2011 from the Tampa Florida Human Rights Council for her work in the arts with Children. Allen was Nominated for Woman of the Year in Community Service in 2008 by the St. Petersburg Florida Chamber of Commerce. Her work in community arts started when she was selected as the Logo artist for the St. Petersburg Florida First night Celebration in 2007. Allen projected digital art on the Museum of Fine Arts and in years after on other buildings in the area. This interest moved Allen into film where she spends most of her time now in the arts.
Allen lives in St Petersburg Florida and in Upstate New York. She is currently working on a film entitled “Bee Hold” with over 200 children. The focus of the animated film will be to get the word out about endangered Bees using the art, music and voices of Children. Funded by the Lower Adirondack Arts Council in New York “Bee Hold” will be completed in December of 2019.
