Paula May is a freelance expressionistic abstract painter living and working on the coast just outside of Byron Bay, NSW Australia.
Her work is an interpretation of: feelings, memories, subconscious and conscious thoughts that form into colours and shapes when she interacts with paint and pastel onto canvas.
Paulas style is considered to be gentle, dreamy and inviting. Her work is primarily driven by the way she views the world and how she experiences her day to day life. Creative polymath, Paula has dipped her toes into different avenues ranging from writing poetry, dancing, playing music to photographing and styling. Needless to say creativity has continually been a part of how Paula expresses herself. Having grown up in one of the most beautiful areas in Australia, Paula has continually held a deep appreciation to nature. Spending a lot of her time travelling, admiring the outdoors and living by the ocean. With that, she harvests much of her inspiration from the beautiful tones and textures this earth has to offer.
Paula uses art as a form of therapy allowing parts of her self to come alive onto the canvas. Her main focus is to create paintings that not only give life and meaning to the spaces we dwell but to create a sense of calm while being in the presence of her work.
