About The Artist
The award-winning magic realism art of Paul Bond has been featured in galleries, museums and cultural centers, including Contemporary Fine Arts Gallery in La Jolla, CA; the Gateway Museum in Farmington, NM; the Magidson Gallery in Aspen, CO; and the San Diego Art Institute. His paintings are in many private and corporate collections, including the Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA; and PB&J Restaurants in Wichita, KS, and his art is featured in contemporary art publications and related products.

Bond shares the following about his work: “ Altering and juxtaposing familiar objects gives me the visual symbols which become the language I use to reflect an emotion or thought that I’m entertaining at the moment. The physical world to me is a heartbreakingly beautiful and profoundly mysterious experience. I am often overwhelmed with awe, and translating that into art is my way of acknowledging and digesting this great mystery that is life on earth.”
