Artist Profile : Paul Schmidt

 what_do_you_dream_about_blog.jpg

“Art to me is like music to others its a means of expressing emotions and ideas that words can’t.  I like using bright colors and multiple color combinations to bring my stencils to life, with subject matter ranging across the board from music icons to political and social ideology.”
