The Artist
Désirée Marie-Belle Paus Sterling
My name is Désirée Paus Sterling, and I am an emerging fine artist based in San Diego, California. I paint with full intention and devotion — exploring color, light, and shadow to conjure entire worlds.

Isabel Josefina Maria
Elisabeth Arias Tribler (1938–2020)
My mother was a self-taught artist whose quiet devotion to
beauty shaped everything I see. Born in Oslo, Norway, and a true woman
of the world, she carried her love of color and texture across
continents and cultures. She painted with an intimacy that made even the
simplest subject — a bowl of fruit, a vase of calla lilies — feel like a
love letter. She never sought recognition. She simply painted because
she had to. These works are her legacy, and it is my honor to share them
with the world.
Rolf Garman Reinert-Larsen (1901-1998)
Norwegian engineer and artist, Rolf Garman Reinert-Larsen was
born in 1901 and spent his career at Standard Telefon og Kabelfabrik A/S
in Oslo. In 1926, at the age of 25, he created a series of exquisite
ink drawings — precise, elegant, and deeply expressive — revealing the
soul of an artist behind the engineer's mind. He is the maternal
grandfather of Désirée Paus Sterling, and the first link in a
three-generation legacy of art.

The Soul Behind the Art
Art, for Désirée, is a deeply spiritual practice — rooted in Vedic philosophy, devotion, and the belief that beauty has the power to heal. Every painting is an offering.
