Paul Markowitz is an emerging local artist who has been making mobiles for the past 5 years. His works draws heavily from Alexander Calder – the godfather of mobiles. He loves every aspect of making mobiles and loves how mobiles give life to air movement. His work incorporates whimsy and humor with the goal of bringing smiles to
