October 13, 2025 – November 21, 2025, Spanish River Library
The Boca Raton Public Library presents a new art exhibit consisting of both acrylic paintings and sculptural works, “Fantasy Land: Let Imagination Soar,” by Paula Franklin. A self-taught artist, Ms. Franklin has been painting for over fifty years. She has also studied with sculptor emeritus of the Boca Raton Art Museum School, William Reid, for over fifteen years. This will be Ms. Franklin’s first public exhibition after previous private exhibitions of her work.
Ms. Franklin cites her extensive experiences with world travel as a major source of her inspiration, alongside her “commitment to experimentation with different mediums and styles.” Ms. Franklin’s bold, colorful paintings, full of dynamic swirls and natural features, alongside the flowing, curving nature of her sculptural pieces are all key to her exhibit and represent this experimental philosophy. “Fantasy Land: Let Imagination Soar,” a free exhibit, will run from October 13 to November 21, 2025, at the Spanish River Library, 1501 NW Spanish River Boulevard, during regular library hours.
