Paulette McKoy

Paulette McKoy is an Associate Lecturer at the University of Arts London and a Creative Practitioner and Art Facilitator, she has 15+ years of experience.  She was born in Manchester and moved to London in the late nineties after graduating in Fashion Design at The University of Salford.   Whilst working in business administration, she began to experiment with painting in order to reconnect with her love and passion for visual art.  She has produced works that have been showcased in solo and many group exhibitions in galleries and art spaces in London and throughout the UK. Paulette’s work has been featured at the Royal Academy of Dance, celebrating the Faculty of Education’s 10th anniversary and recently selected to work at the Royal Exchange Theatre Manchester in response to the theatre production 'Rockets and Blue Lights'. She continues to exhibit work and sell her work and regularly accepts corporate and private art commissions.

Paulette also facilitates workshops for adults and children of all ages and abilities and offers art sessions to adults in daycare centres around the South East of London.

The focus of her practice is to create art that is inspiring and intriguing, that in effect wakens the creativity and beauty within us.  Paulette wants to create artwork that makes the viewer stop and reflects, even if it’s just for a moment in order to have an emotional experience that will be relived every time they view her art.

For Paulette music is important in the development of her art, it inspires her to combine her artistic talent which manifests itself into exciting forms in vibrant colours as symbolisms of rhythm and movement.

“Painting for me is the most verbal medium I have of expressing myself beyond the boundaries of language. Painting provides me with a unique opportunity to be creative every day.  I have truly found my calling; I love what I do and my passion for art”.
