Paintings
Lush colorful full figure paintings take flight in Paula O'Brien's art studio in Gibsons, BC. These intimate portraits and lively images with costume, feelings and motion are done in acrylics and mixed media and sometimes enriched with collage, stamping, beads, mirrors and textiles. Colorful images of children lost in the trance of interpretive dance are my current series.
Drawings
Life drawings done 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. The busy surface design echoes textile embellishment references.
Art Textiles
In the art textile section, you will see wearable art garments rich in surface design embellishment, color and fabric combinations. Inspiring samples of waterproof outerwear, felted wool coats, Fortuny pleated silk dresses, needlepoint paintings, machine embroidery, fun applique and more.

In the home section, you can see fun with color, textures and pattern on surfaces from walls to floors, shoes, furniture and tiles. Even the garden gets a good if irreverent dose of color and whimsy. Nothing is safe from her decorative hand! Oh my gosh, where is the dog...?
Inspiration

Images from my travels and other goodies to feast your eyes on as well as sketchbook pages. Masks and costumes, street performers, bold colorful houses, mosaics, daring and jolly window display and much more.
