Paulette A. N. Mortimer's passion for photography was ignited during her college years as she prepared to study foreign languages, particularly French. It was a serene morning on her way to the airport in Nassau, Bahamas when she witnessed a breathtaking scene - a rocky beach surrounded by silhouetted homes, with the sky painted in hues of orange, yellow, and pink reflecting on the water. This moment became etched in her memory as she longed to capture the beauty of that morning, setting her on a journey of photography.
Through courses in fine art photography, Paulette delved into handcoloring, handtoning, pinhole photography, and various printing processes. She further expanded her knowledge by studying computer imaging, Adobe Photoshop, and color photography. The pinnacle of her photography education came during a month-long course in Paris, where she could combine her love for photography with her passion for foreign languages, creating a unique blend of artistry.
