KNOW YOUR CREATIVE NEIGHBORS
Paul de Worken
My name is Paul De Worken. I have been an artist since 2008. Art has always been my outlet for fun, emotions, and inspiration. Currently, I am the vice chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission for the City of Watsonville, a substitute teacher, after school art teacher, and one of the founders and organizers of our yearly Watsonville Community Mural Paint Day event.
I operate and own a home-based business called the Monterey Bay Murals (www.mbmurals.com). We produce and make original art, apparel, and merchandise that capture the spirit of Watsonville and colorful pieces of art. Everything that I have achieved would not be possible without the support of my community, family, and fellow artists.
