But no, they are a good team as Paula skillfully uses them both.

“Art is often seen as a luxury but when it comes to historic, intensely sad and important events, events to remember or to celebrate in our lives, we are in need for art. I wish to help you, drawing or painting for you artwork that is both beautiful and serving a practical need. Art provides powerful, non-verbal communication that helps people to memorize messages. Art, for me, is about creating a beautiful compositions with harmonious shapes and colours.”
