british painter Pauline Thomas acrylic and oil on canvas Pauline Thomas is an abstract artist living in West Wales, United Kingdom, well known for her bold, powerful and thought provoking art. She has a passion for painting and the part of the world that she lives in. Her work can be found in private and public collections throughout the UK, Europe, USA and Dubai. Her inspiration has been derived from her life in West Wales, her past work in the agricultural sector working within the changing landscape, weather and rhythm of the rural way of life and by the folklore and history of her surrounding communities. Other works have been inspired by places and events tempered by her personal experiences and emotions. Pauline is self-taught and unafraid of experimenting in new ways of producing artwork, which has allowed her work to develop outside the confines of convention and enabled her to produce works of true originality. wom en ART page 47
