"It is a challenge and a thrill to be a portrait artist."
717.854.5527 York, Pennsylvania		Dean Paules was trained in electronics, not art, but he pursued an interest in painting from his early years. While following a career in business, he also created award-winning landscapes of his native Pennsylvania and the eastern U.S. It was not until the mid-1980s that Paules turned to portraiture full time, after selling his successful plastics firm. Largely self-taught, Paules emerges a standout in a room of contemporary painters. Whether a Paules portrait emphasizes emotion or restraint, it is always a minutely detailed painting, unerringly true to life. His subjects include Nobel laureate Dr. George Hitchings; General Richard Ellis, Commander of SAC and NATO; Ralph Larsen, CEO, Johnson & Johnson; Peter R. Dolan, CEO & Chairman, Bristol-Meyers-Squibb; William W. Boechenstein of Owens Corning Fiberglass Corporation; David Johnson CEO, Campbell Soup; and Chuck Williams, Williams Sonoma, San Francisco, California. In 1991, Paules won the grand prize at the National Portrait Seminar in Atlanta.
