ARTIST BIO

Following a lengthy career in textile and ceramic design, where Paula Sharples created designs for noteworthy homewares companies such as Coloroll, Portmeirion and Churchill China, she turned her creative hand to painting and her art practice was born.

Paula's paintings incorporate both still life and landscapes, with her background reminiscent of Italian frescoes with the framing of a distant landscape. She works on gesso prepared board with acrylics, ink and graphite. Her use of colour and pattern is evidence of her past métier. 

Having been brought up in Brighton, the coast is a constant inspiration for her paintings. Now living in the Peak District, she also draws inspiration from the beautiful landscape surrounding her home.  Paula’s art incorporates coast and country so exquisitely and uniquely, her paintings are very much in demand.
