Paula Formanek

Paula Formanek started to paint in 2011 following an inspirational train trip across
Canada. Retiring from her hydrogeology career in 2015 allowed her more time for painting. She applies thick oil paint with a painting knife, exposing her heart and passion through expressive strokes of brilliant colour and sculpture-like texture, creating rich impasto artwork.

The focus of her paintings is the impression or feelings experienced, rather than
realism. A lover of landscapes and flowers, often she will escape hurried city life
and head for Wolfe Island to lose track of time and paint en plein air to forever
capture its mood and charm on canvas or birch panels. In this stressful world Paula sees art as a vehicle for self-discovery, life enrichment, balance and healing. She’s on a mission to make the world a better place, through her painterly artwork.
