The Art of Polaroid Impressionism.

Paula Bellacera's "Hollywood Nights"

In her Sacramento Icons  series, local multimedia artist Paula Bellacera presents images that are at once new and nostalgic, using tools like a vintage Polaroid SX-70 camera, watercolor paint, markers and pencils. The end results are evocative, impressionistic depictions of our city’s landmarks, from the Tower Bridge to the Tower Theatre and many more.
