Paula Dunn is a landscape painter who lives and works in Yorkshire, England. Taking her inspiration from walking the land, the climate and weather play a significant part in her work. She predominantly works with oils and her painting over the years has shifted from a representational image of a landscape to the more abstracted.
Paula’s paintings can be found in private collections across the world and she is a contributing artist to the award winning “Waymaking – an anthology of prose, poetry and artwork by women who are inspired by the landscape” Vertebrae publishing.
In 2025 her book Atmospheric Landscapes using oils and cold wax was published by Crowood Press.
