Barrawarn (33 x 33cm) Paula Mackay

Paula is a self taught artist. She lives in Naarm (Melbourne). She has always been interested in the visual arts and has a major in visual arts (BA) from Monash University.

Her artwork is a collection of still life flowers. She says “I paint to emphasis the beauty of the flora around me. The colours of native Australian flora and those seen in Australian gardens are full of energy, life and colour. I embrace the positive influence on mental health. Nature has been identified as a positive influence generating positive emotions. My paintings celebrate the power of the humble flower in nature.”
