Her work is both abstract and figurative. Her meticulous use of color, line and texture seem at first glimpse to be influenced by no one. But further acquaintance with Paula's unique biography and the sources and inspirations behind her oeuvre reveal an artist who has deftly captured passion, intellectual rigor, and technique to create a genuinely original body of work. Paula's nontraditional technique with traditional materials brings further variety to her paintings through the use of additional manipulations of the materials. Sometimes diverse in subject matter and technique but with a consistant feel for surrealistic expressionism.
