About

Pavla is an artist and designer based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Beginning her creative journey at an early age Pavla spent many years working as a graphic designer in the commercial sphere. However, the desire to break free from constraint always lingered. Working intuitively, Pavla approaches her practice as an evolving and looping feedback, inspired by
the everyday.

Focusing on experimentation, Pavla consistently looks to develop unique and creative storytelling techniques using mixed media.

The spontaneity of Pavla’s approach to making finds her drawn to new aesthetic genres, and reflects a curious contradiction in her work which can be interpreted as complex yet simple, confronting yet approachable,
fun yet serious.

Pavla’s art displays her bold, unapologetic, and playful style – a vibrant expression of her ever present passion for art and design.


Pav Spencer art it is a joyful celebration of life, the wonderful fun moments that make this human experience a delightful journey. In these times of great burden, we need a reminder of happy things to make ourselves rejoice. Pav paintings have this healing balm. The happy medicine that makes us smile and dance (as she does in the process of creating them).
I would like very much to take my body aside and jump inside any of her works and enjoy the company and activities of her characters. We are very lucky indeed to have Pav Spencer sharing her visions with us.
