About Paula

Paula has a deep connection with the Australian landscape, having grown up among the bush near Paterson in NSW’s Hunter Valley and spending 7 years living on the historic Camden Park property whilst at secondary school. Both these places significantly influenced Paula’s love and respect of nature and the land, where she spent many occasions exploring with a sketch pad in hand, documenting her surrounds.

Due to her passion for environmental conservation, Paula went on to complete a Degree in Environmental Management, whilst continuing her art practice throughout her career. Her love of the environment and her dedication towards her art practice led her to becoming a full-time landscape artist.

Paula currently lives, and works from her studio, in Walcha NSW; an area that abounds spectacular subjects in nature. Paula's distinct style depicts the essence of Australia's landscapes using predominately oil and gouache, and her works are known for her vivacious use of colour, textures and mark-making to form her landscapes and compositions.

“My art is a continuous journey of discovery as I explore, through painting, our incredible and diverse environments around the country. I look deep into a landscape and extract the subtleties and connotations that lie within. My aim is to evoke emotion and a sense of place through my paintings. I create connections with the Australian environment to allow for a deeper understanding of the compelling beauty, the wild, the rugged and the mystery of our unique landforms.”
