Visual arts and crafts. I have been a professional artist on the coast for 50 years. Pauline uses mainly acrylic inks, sometimes with a watercolour technique. Initially, her work was very detailed, full of whimsy and humour, in bright colours. Her love of Persian art gave her a taste for miniatures. Her miniatures of everyday life became popular when Pauline had her own studio gallery in Gibsons where she exhibited and sold her work for some years. While there, she began painting powerful mandalas on big canvases, in turn leading to her mystical icons which are full of vibrant colour, goldleaf, symbols, and imagery. She says “The language of colour is a thread running through all my work.”
