Pam's Biography

I have been an artist all my life. My first memory is that of "painting" my Dad with some grape jelly that had been applied to a piece of bread. Since then I have always painted on unusual things and used unusual methods.

I always incorporate transparency and translucency into my work. I am fascinated by the way light plays with color. You will find bright and saturated colors in everything I do. My work is sculptural in nature and is often designed to be viewed from all sides.

As an artist, I am considered an "Outsider". In other words, I have never had formal training. I consider this to be an advantage as I've never learned the "right way" to do something. Because of this, my work is always experimental. I play with paint, I throw paint, I paint on crumpled paper, I use plant material to apply paint, I use plant material in my paintings. For me, there are no rules - creating art is an adventure.

My work can be seen at Foothills Art Center in Golden.
