About me

Born in 1951 in Leicester, England, Pauleen Micallef is a plein air artist known for her vibrant and spontaneous approach to painting.

Pauleen has attended workshops with internationally renowned artists and has organised numerous solo and group exhibitions over the years. Many of her works are part of private collections both locally and abroad. Notable among these is a series of eight sepia ink paintings of Malta's Prehistoric Temples, completed in 2001 and donated to Heritage Malta in 2006. These works are now permanently displayed at the Heritage Halls office in Birgu, Malta. Pauleen is also a dedicated contributor to philanthropic events.

Her artistic journey was significantly influenced by her mentors, the late Maltese artist Ms. Spiteri Stains and Norwegian artist Olaug Vethal (1946 - 2007). She explores a wide range of subjects, including seascapes, landscapes, flowers, portraits, farmhouses, chapels, and the human figure. Pauleen works in various mediums such as acrylics, oils, pastels, inks, watercolors, and charcoal.

When a painting is hung on the wall, part of the artist remains there too.
