Paula Starrs
The River Guardian
Acrylic on Canvas
A strong gum tree leans over the water, its hanging leaves like soft veils. It feels like a quiet guardian — watching, steady, and rooted in the passing of time.

About Paula Starrs
I’m Paula Starrs, a landscape artist based in regional Victoria who loves creating with acrylics on canvas. Growing up in the Mallee, I developed a deep connection to the landscape, which fuels my passion for capturing its colours and shadows in a loose brushstroke style. I work from my barn studio on a 40-acre property near Swan Hill, where I paint, garden, and enjoy a martini or two. My artwork and unique style have captured enough interest to feature my works in private collections both in Australia and overseas.
