"We are so excited to welcome people back to NERAM and to reopen with this fabulous exhibition by a local artist," said NERAM Director Rachael Parsons.
This body of work aims to portray the unique colours and impressions of these areas which Paula feels are "quintessential Australia".

"While the works in this exhibition are inspired by the dry outback, Paula's vivacious mark-making and use of vibrant hues embed the work with such vitality and joy" NERAM Curator Belinda Hungerford said.
"You can't help but feel uplifted when looking at these paintings."
Ms Parsons described these works as a tonic for the trying times we have all been experiencing.
Due to current COVID-19 restrictions limiting the number of people gathering in a space at one time, there will be an opening day for Riverbeds & Spinifex running from 10am until 7pm on Friday.
Bookings are essential so head to NERAM's website or call the gallery on 6772 5255 to book a spot.
Paula will be in the gallery between 3pm and 7pm.
While Paula has painted other subjects in the past such as equine and botanicals, Australia's landscapes have been the largest influence in her work.
