Paula Charter

Paula Charter is a contemporary abstract artist based in The Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada, working primarily in acrylic and mixed media. Her tactile, process driven practice draws on themes of pace, presence, and emotional reconnection in a world consumed by speed and technology. Before pursuing art full time, Paula built a career in human resources while maintaining an art practice and completing a variety of art courses on the side. Her corporate experience informs her exploration of vulnerability and authenticity through painting and installation.

Since 2023 she has exhibited in juried group and dual artist shows across the Okanagan and in Vancouver.

She is an exhibiting member of The Federation of Canadian Artists. Her current projects continue to merge painting, material experimentation, and sound to examine how abstraction can express feeling without language.
