About Me

My name is Paula Lehane and I work in Devon as an artist using a variety of media and my works range from small paintings and drawings through to murals and 3-dimensional pieces (mainly ceramics).

Primarily inspired by the landscape, activities and the abundance of flora are paintings representing this natural beauty in a stylised fashion, hopefully providing you with an intense and vivid visual impact.

Alongside drawing and painting I also work with clay producing sculptural as well as practical ceramics with a difference. In all of my work I strive to bring the image to life through colour and form. I have also been commissioned by commercial entities to represent their goals and values in an artistic and interesting fashion (largely cartoon influenced) so that the messages resonate with the viewer in a tangible manner. In addition, I have successfully completed courses in horticulture (RHS) and garden design. There are many synergies that run through all these areas and anything I learn from one area I will be sure to manifest in other areas.

Hopefully all of this goes someway to explaining my working moniker of ‘Paula of the Full Palette’!

I graduated from Camberwell School of Arts with a Bachelor’s degree in 3-Dimensional design and was very fortunate to have been under the tutelage of widely renowned artists Ewan Henderson, Colin Pearson, Richard Slee and Gillian Lowndes.

I work from a studio in Teignmouth, Devon and there is no doubt that our environment influences most of what we do, be it professionally, socially or recreationally. I have always appreciated this and reacted to it wherever I have lived or travelled. My hope is that this manifests itself to you in my paintings and allows you to indulge yourself and enjoy!

Please feel free to contact me for any further information or requests (I take commission requests too).

Thank you

Paula
