Paula Horsley

Yorkshire based, Paula has a background in illustration and then textile design.

For the last ten years, Paula has been creating design led gifts for galleries and craft shops. As part of this project she has produced a collection of hand painted bags that have received much acclaim.

Paula has also managed to keep up her work on canvas which she loves to do. She tends to take her camera with her wherever she goes and photographs views that she loves to look at. This has included woodland, brooks and flowers to name just a few. These photographs are then used to create her textured canvas work.

Recently she has created a collection of small canvases of humorous animals. They just focus on the animal’s head and the artist aims to make people smile through these fun works.

Paula has exhibited her work in galleries and craft shops across the UK including the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
