About the artist:
In recent years MacArthur’s work has matured into an increasingly
painterly and intensely colourful style whilst retaining all the dexterous
qualities of her early academic and naturalistic draughtsmanship.
Paula MacArthur has now left London, and is now happily settling into
rural life in West Kent. The focus of her current work is, perhaps
surprisingly, often urban and cosmopolitan in nature, as she takes the
time to reflect on life in the city with a more objective eye, that only time
and distance can allow.
Paula MacArthur enjoyed early success winning the prestigious John
Player Portrait Award at The National Portrait Gallery in 1989 before
continuing her studies at The Royal Academy Schools in London. Shortly
after completing her studies Paula was a prize winner at the acclaimed
John Moores Biennial at The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. Since then
she has continued to exhibit both nationally and internationally and has
work in several permanent collections including The National Portrait
Gallery, The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, Baron and
Baroness Von Oppenheim and Ted Baker Ltd.
