A Little Journey of the Heart and Mind presents the artist's deeply personal response to the ongoing climate crisis, expressed through a series of ink and charcoal drawings created in recent years.

The collection traces an emotional journey, from the fury ignited by the 2019/20 bushfires to a reflective questioning of societal inaction.

The body of artwork grapples with Australia's resistance to environmental change, exploring themes of apathy, materialism and denial. As political and scientific discourse offers little comfort, Paula's drawings reflect inward, documenting local native flora not in a scientific sense, but with emotional resonance, capturing a fragile connection to the natural world that still endures, even in the face of despair.
