While in Portugal, Paramor had solo exhibitions for three months on a grant from the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Coimbra, and Oporto.

On her return to Sydney in 1963, she lived in a modest terrace house in Waterloo and exhibited in group shows with the Contemporary Art Society of Australia (Victoria and New South Wales), and at the Dominion, Barry Stern and Blaxland galleries in Sydney.

In 1966 she moved to a property in West Hoxton, New South Wales, where she built a Philip Cox-designed underground house.

From 1966 to 1970 she exhibited with the Central Street Gallery in Sydney, which confirmed her decisive move from landscape-based work to "hard edge," geometric abstraction.
