In this series of smaller paintings, Paula works with oils, cold wax, and embedded materials such as pigments and marble dust to create surfaces alive with texture and depth. Each piece emerges through an intuitive, exploratory process, where colour, mark-making, and chance interplay freely—paint drips, solvent trails, and incidental textures become the starting point for the composition, guiding the work as much as the artist’s hand.
These instinctive layers echo the landscapes that inspire them. Just as the land records centuries of human activity and natural change, these paintings capture traces of time, movement, and accident. Burn-back scars, patchworked fields, winding pathways, and river-carved valleys are reimagined in abstract form, their patterns distilled into rhythm, texture, and colour. Each work is a celebration of the moorland’s ever-shifting, richly layered character—a tactile, atmospheric interpretation of place.
