Paula is a self-taught artist with a BA in Visual Arts from Monash University and a background as a creative in the corporate world. Working from her home studio in Naarm (Melbourne), she paints vibrant still lifes, Australian landscapes, and depictions of native flora and fauna—often drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of the red centre. Her bold acrylic works are known for their strong compositions and bright, contrasting palettes. Paula has exhibited widely across Australia through galleries, art shows, and interior retailers. In 2023, she won Best in Show at Kyneton Gallery, and this year she is a finalist in both The Next Big Thing at Toowoomba Gallery and the Doyle’s Art Prize.
