The New York Icon Series was a natural outcome from my ongoing love affair with New York City. says Paula Barr. "These images were inspired by Oriental space, Walt Whitman, and the masculine energy that goes into building skyscrapers." Fine art photographer, painter, and sculptor, Paula lives and works in New York City. A painter by training, she earned her BFA from Boston University before moving to Manhattan. After a rising interest in photography she made the transition to it full time in the 1970's. Paula's work has been exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art and The Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art.

She feels that her vertical photographs of the New York City icons are the most exciting thing she has ever created. This is quite a statement, coming from a woman whose credits include the world's largest photograph, (10ft x 74 ft long in glass) located in a Mobile, Alabama private hospital.
