A Lifetime of Artistic Experience

Welcome to the Official Website of Artist Paul Bellardo

Creative Genius

Paul was an artist who possessed a lifetime of artistic experience and talent. Anyone familiar with his work will attest, Paul was always on the cutting edge when it came to his creative talent. It is not simply the expertise he possessed in creating a finished work, but more importantly, the imaginative and detailed designs he had that continually made his work fresh, innovative, and alive.

Humble Beginnings

While stationed in the South during the army in 1945, Paul accidentally stumbled into the Young Men’s Hebrew Association ceramics studio in New Orleans. That experience was truly the beginning of Paul’s life-long passion. He went on from there to graduate from the Boston’s School of the Museum of Fine Arts with the highest honors after a year of post graduate work and teaching for ten years at the Museum School. 

The Real Deal
