Paula stencils, stamps, dyes, and uses resist techniques to create a rich palette of colors and textures. Her work blends the tactility of Japanese Washi paper with painting and printmaking, resulting in intricate, layered surfaces. Through texture and transparency, she explores the harmony of raw materials, nature, and transcendence. She documents objects by creating a material record, stamping them on paper, and incorporating them into her work through collage.

Her process poetically merges the tactile qualities of Washi paper with painting and printmaking, producing evocative, layered compositions that emphasize surface texture and transformative color. Inspired by her time in Tokyo, Paula’s collage work re-examines landscape painting through both Asian and Western perspectives. By experimenting with techniques, she reframes compositions, fragmenting them into abstracted surfaces that challenge traditional representations of space.
