Paula Bouffard is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist and designer working across textile, surface design, and material-based practices. Rooted in a deep appreciation for handcraft, her work explores the relationships between color, geometry, composition and form.

​

In her textile work, Paula begins with fabric, often linen, using color harmonies and composition as the foundation for layered pieces. Through piecing, stitching, quilting, dye work and occasional weaving, she creates textiles by hand with a quiet attention to balance, rhythm and material presence.

​

In her surface design work, Paula often takes the long road, developing motifs by hand through painting, drawing, cutting, printing and paper-based composition before translating them into repeat patterns or applied designs. While she also works digitally, her approach remains grounded in the marks and rhythms of hand-made processes.

​

Her aesthetic language is rooted in craftsmanship, material exploration, and a quiet sense of balance. Blending refined simplicity with tactile richness, her work embraces organic forms and subtle encounters between color, shape and surface.

Originally from Quebec, Canada, Paula currently lives in Qatar with her husband and youngest son.
