Paulette Cornish – Selective Curriculum Vitae
Nanaimo,BC pcornish84@gmail.com
www.paulettecornish.com
Paulette relocated to Vancouver Island in 1994, gradually expanding from experimental quilting into mixed media. She uses her camera, computer, iPad and printer to design, produce work that explores colour, texture and line. Celebrating nature, her work can be described as minimalist, abstract and/or surreal. Beauty and energy, innocence and vulnerability, and an ongoing responsibility to nurture are thematic in her work.
