Paula is a landscape painter based in the world heritage site of Saltaire, West Yorkshire.
The weather and its impact on the landscape plays a significant part in her work. She likes to play with combinations of colours, textures and expressive marks to create mood, atmosphere, drama.
“When I start a painting I have no end point in mind. I paint intuitively, focusing first on the desire to work with particular colours. This experimental part of the process is like building the foundations of the painting. Layering colour and texture through mark making. Adding glazes to create depth and atmosphere. At times my landscapes are almost abstracted.”
“My paintings are now owned across the world. My work has been featured in book designs and I am a contributing artist to the award winning Waymaking – an anthology of prose, poetry and artwork by women who are inspired by the landscape.”
