Paula's main body of work is comprised of tapestry weaving wall hangings. All of these are suitable for enhancing domestic settings. Tapestry weaving is both a fine art and craft whereby the design of the former is executed by the latter. Imagery can be representational, abstract, or a combination of the two. Paula is a pattern maker, and works from images of the natural world to create her designs. She also loves texture and embellishes her weaving with knotting, weft wrapping and whipping.

As well as woven tapestry Paula is interested in other constructed textiles which originate from non European countries, most notably pre-Columbian Peruvian textiles and textiles from the African continent such as Kente cloth , Kuba cloth (Shoowa) raffia weaving, Chilkat blanket weaving from the North West coast of Canada, and ply split braiding. This last was originally woven to create camel girths and other animal regalia in Rajasthan. She finds the ethnography of these textiles fascinating, how different indigenous peoples use their natural materials to create cloth for their clothing, domestic, ritual and celebratory needs. She is also hooked on all the different techniques and loves making sample weaves to demonstrate them.
