Paula Barrantes

Paula Barrantes is a watercolourist and muralist specializing in botanical art. Her love for painting and nature began as a young girl, surrounded by the lush gardens of Costa Rica. She went on to study art in Canada and the US, receiving a BFA from San Francisco Art Institute.

Whether depicting a misty tropical forest or the cuttings from her garden, Paula’s art is about the joy of being surrounded by nature. Her latest work is inspired by her grandma's tradition of sharing plants in old containers. Sending someone off with succulents in a can of sour cream was her way of expressing a love for nature.
