Artist Statement
“I paint what my heart sees whether real or imagined and sometimes I combine the two.”
Profile
Pam‘s paintings on birch panel are the result of mark making and strategic placement of color between marks that result in an abstraction of her subject. Her mark-making is experimental and achieved using a variety of textures, layers, glazes, and opaque paint.
Each is finished in Gel, sanded, and waxed providing an extra special surface.
She accepts a few commissions a year, enjoying the journey of relationship along the way.
