Paul Pascarella, artist and filmmaker has been a Writing Salon partner since the beginning. Paul's philosophy of exploring how the language of chaos in the natural world informs, instructs, and encourages the imaginative process compliments the writing salon theme of writing from the imaginative storm. Paul's art, which is collected worldwide, inspires the viewer to ponder questions of meaning, spirituality, and the role of creativity in these global times. As a teacher, Paul is connected to his ancestors, as an artist, he is a visionary, and as a friend of The Writing Salon, he is family.
