About the artist

My purpose is to infect the world with happiness. I paint magic and colours on canvas, on walls, on ceilings, on doors, on cupboards. Search for I exhibit in the Cambridge Open Studios annually in July or by prior arrangement. Search on google for “Cambridge Open Studios Paula Holt” or on Instagram for “Poppyannapaintings” to see more examples of my work.

About the art

My painting aims to show the enormous colourful biodiversity of nature, from amoeba and dinosaurs through to early man, to Big Ben about to strike midnight. On the clock tower is the poem I wrote which was the initial inspiration for the painting. You then see the ways in which humanity has shifted evolution, leaving the threat of the world becoming a desert wasteland. In the desert you see a glass slipper on a rock, with a tiny WWF logo on the front of the slipper, to symbolise there is still a chance of a happily ever after.
