As a young girl, she had dreams of becoming a concert violinist or mathematician, but instead ended up studying a business degree, and worked as an assistant finacial accountant for some time. Feeling unsatisfied in her work, she went on to study property valuation. She worked in the valuation industry in Cape Town and Durban, but while struggling with her mental and physical health, she took a leap of faith and decided to study kinesiology. \u201cDuring that process, I got more in tune with myself as a human being, and started to understand how the mental, emotional and physical are all connected,\u201d she says. \u201cThe move into kinesiology allowed me to get in touch with my more feminine, soft side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-31970\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Art-Aubade-VIII-oil-on-birch-panel-8x8cm-painted-wooden-frame-21x21cm-396x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"396\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Art-Aubade-VIII-oil-on-birch-panel-8x8cm-painted-wooden-frame-21x21cm-396x400.jpg 396w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Art-Aubade-VIII-oil-on-birch-panel-8x8cm-painted-wooden-frame-21x21cm-1013x1024.jpg 1013w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Art-Aubade-VIII-oil-on-birch-panel-8x8cm-painted-wooden-frame-21x21cm-768x777.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Art-Aubade-VIII-oil-on-birch-panel-8x8cm-painted-wooden-frame-21x21cm-1519x1536.jpg 1519w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Art-Aubade-VIII-oil-on-birch-panel-8x8cm-painted-wooden-frame-21x21cm-696x704.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Art-Aubade-VIII-oil-on-birch-panel-8x8cm-painted-wooden-frame-21x21cm-1068x1080.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Art-Aubade-VIII-oil-on-birch-panel-8x8cm-painted-wooden-frame-21x21cm-415x420.jpg 415w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Art-Aubade-VIII-oil-on-birch-panel-8x8cm-painted-wooden-frame-21x21cm-1920x1941.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Art-Aubade-VIII-oil-on-birch-panel-8x8cm-painted-wooden-frame-21x21cm.jpg 1985w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/>With this shift, Paula opened herself up to new experiences, taking on a 30-day creative challenge that encouraged her to draw and share her work online every day.

Learn about what it means to be an artist. Learn about art, about lines, form, value, space, colour theory, lighting, and composition. Learn about different mediums, techniques and styles of art. Learn about the history of art, and the masters that came before us. Learn about the creative process. Learn about the aspects of running an art business; about sales, marketing, finances, networking, problem solving, planning, time management and so on.
