painting
Lush colorful figurative paintings
take flight in Paula O'Brien's art studio in Gibsons, BC. Portraits and lively images with dramatic and theatrical costumes in acrylics, oils, mixed media and sometimes enriched with collage,
stamping, beads, mirrors and textiles. |
drawing
Life
drawings in watercolor sticks are the fertile base of Paula's
visual art works. Rich layers of color are built up quickly into vibrant
figurative energetic drawings. This is the engine that drives the whole creative neighborhood. |
art textiles
Wearable art garments rich in
surface design, color and fabric combinations. Inspiring waterproof outerwear, felted wool coats, Fortuny pleated
silk dresses, needlepoint paintings, machine embroidery, fun applique
and more. |
funky home
Fun with color, texture and pattern
on surfaces from walls to floors, shoes, furniture and tiles. Even
the garden gets a good irreverent dose of color and whimsy. Nothing is safe from her decorative hand! Oh my
gosh, where is the dog? |
