Paula Q is a Dutch-Irish artist born in 1969 in Maastricht. Her passion for ceramics started in her 20ties in the studio of Wim Hos where she spent 4 years at the potter’s wheel. Seeking more ways to create she had a ¨flings¨with blacksmithing, papier-mâché and textile art to end up teaching herself hand building techniques in clay. Her work is a translation of raw emotions expressed in vibrant earthy colours and patterns scratched in clay. Her latest work, a series of paper-thin bowls created after a great personal loss, is now on show in her studio in Genk, Belgium.
