Artist Biography

Although Pam’s career pursuit was Anthropology, She did minor in art back in college and continued to enjoy art as a pastime during her life. She also had the privilege of having an artist as a mother. Her inspirations are the raw human artistic expressions from the earliest humans through the eras and across the globe encompassing patterns, colors & textures in a mosaic of my her art.

Her primary medium is acrylic on canvas. Her mode is nonobjective art (abstract) with occasional figurative elements viewed through her own lens. She lives in Maine with her retired veteran husband. She has 5 grown children, sheep, chickens, dogs and a cat. She says she very much enjoys the local New England art community and its sense of belonging. There’s no end to inspiration in its beauty.

She does occasionally create fabric from her designs and the photos from Faber Arts Barn resident photographer. She says she is glad to be a part of The Art Center of Dover, New Hampshire.

Process

My process is to hear what voice and colors are speaking to me that day. I stop after the first layer and observe. I let the canvas speak to me and tell me where it wants to go, what does the vision need to come to fruition onto this plane. Each layer I repeat & the canvas decides when it is done.

Artist Statement

Art is a spirit language. There is an empty void of thought & emotion when presented with a blank canvas. No one else in the 8 billion populace will speak what I will say that day on that canvas. It’s an awesome and wonderful joyful burden. The expression on my canvas isn’t just heard, it is seen, observed, beheld, grasped, discerned, interpreted, understood, sensed, felt, and experienced. There is no right or wrong in art, there is only intercourse, kinship, conversation and connection. This is the moment we coalesce. The pinnacle of my art career was placing a completed canvas in a collector’s hand and having them exclaim: “Oh my, it’s beautiful (in tears) it speaks to me.”
