About Paula
Paula was born in Bromley, Kent, England and attended art school in Croydon, Surrey, focusing on life drawing and history of art. Paula has been passionate about art since early childhood and has carried that passion forward into her work today.
Watercolour is Paula's favourite medium but she enjoys working in oils as well as acrylics. Her representational style captures the magic of the moment for the viewer to enjoy.
Paula also instructs art at Swintons Art Supply and studios, Calgary, Alberta and offers summer workshops for students in watercolour for beginner and intermediate levels. Paula won first place in the landscape category at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede Art Show for 2006 and was asked to paint in the Artists Window at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede for 2007.
Artist Statement
Ever since I was a little girl I used to love to draw and wanted to have a career in art. Somewhere when I had finished my training the lure of traveling seemed to take over and before I knew it the last thing I ever did was paint. In recent years I have gone from student to teacher and now paint in both watercolour and oils. I feel so fortunate to have art back in my life and to have met the people that I have. There is a huge world of wonder and excitement waiting for me out there and I cannot wait to get started on that road.
