"Art is where work meets love"

Welcome to Paula Davey Art

After a career in investment banking, I decided to follow my passion for creativity and embrace a love for colour and texture. Now most days are spent creating artwork, and painting is my new lifestyle choice. What started as a hobby is now a beautiful obsession.

Diagnosed with glaucoma some years ago, I was determined to nurture my artistic side while my sight allowed me. This personal journey has been supported by the ​Fight for Sight charity, highlighting the importance of vision as inspiration. Every six minutes, someone in the UK learns they may lose their sight, which makes the vivid hues of nature all the more precious to capture.

My artwork primarily features acrylic paint on canvas, often enhanced with mixed media elements such as pastels, glass beads, and glitter to add tactile depth and sparkle. I welcome commissions and can adapt colours and sizes to suit your preferences. All original canvases are finished with a protective varnish to guard against dust and wear. Prints in various sizes are also available.
Thank you for supporting my creative journey—I hope my work brings you as much joy as it brings me.

"When you buy something from an artist
you're buying more than an object.
You're buying hundreds of hours of errors and experimentation.
You're buying years of frustration and moments of pure joy.
You're not buying just one thing.
You are buying a piece of a heart, a piece of a soul…
A small piece of someone else’s life.” Anon

Purchased: Autumn Burst & Remembrance Poppy
     

Thank you so much Paula for the fabulous paintings. I am in awe of your talent. Packaging was excellent - both arrived in pristine condition. I can't wait to get the paintings framed and hung on the wall. I'll continue to peruse your collection and hope to add to my portfolio. Thank you again.

Sue Mason

Purchased: Pink Tree 1 & “Ralph” the Retriever
     

Paula painted a blossom tree for me for my dining room. She was able to use the exact colour scheme as my decor which included pinks, grey and rose gold. It goes perfectly in the room and is a real centre piece. I was delighted when she asked if she could use this image for her website logo. Paula also painted my beloved dog Ralph. She copied a photo of him and really captured his features, especially his eyes I am very pleased with both paintings and would highly recommend her work.

Anne Porter

Purchased: I am Sailing & View from a Hill
     

Absolutely love Paula’s work. The care, expertise and creativity shine through in both my paintings. I have one on the wall in my dining room and one in the study so I can admire every day. You really need to see the paintings in real life to understand the colour and breadth. Thank you Paula so much.

Susi Bonato

Purchased: Poppy Field 1
     

I just received your very professionally packaged parcel! Thank you so much - I absolutely adore the painting. I'm going to make sure it's hanging up in time for my birthday, for everyone to admire. Amazing painting and I love it. Thanks again.

Denise Taylor

Purchased: Blue Tree 3
     

Thank you so much for my lovely tree painting. It’s exactly the colouring I have been looking for, you matched it perfectly to my navy wallpaper sample. What a wonderful idea and addition to my finished bedroom. Perfect size for the space I have been wanting to fill for some time too. Many thanks.

Trevor Williams

Purchased: Into the Sun
     

I have just received "Into the sun", what a beautiful painting. Reminds me so much of my beautiful girl Layla, early morning walk in Asham Wood walking out "into the sun". thank you

Mike Payne

Purchased: Lollipop Field
     

Thank you for the painting. I’ve admired ‘Lollipop Field’ for some time at Humphrys Cafe but decided today that it was coming home with me. I am now wandering around the house, offering it up to each wall in turn to find its perfect home.

Martha Weeden

Purchased: “Dotty”
     

I was delighted to receive my painting of “Dotty”, the donkey. The expression on her face is so realistic and makes me smile each time I look at her. Dotty has pride of place on my wall and is a cheerful addition to my living room.

Carol & David Aldridge

Bought: Gold Tree at Midnight
     

Saw Paula's exhibition at the Epping Forest visitor centre and impressed with many of the pictures, especially Gold Tree at Midnight. Emailed Paula the same day regarding buying the picture and we arranged collection the following week as both lived local to each other. Very pleased with picture and looks great in our hallway

If you would like to purchase a piece of my artwork, or require any additional information about a painting, please don't hesitate to contact me.
