My art gallery is coming soon on my homepage...
I'm really excited to get my art gallery up and running soon!
You’d think I’d have finished it during lockdown however I had a bad dose of Covid 19, followed by 10 days of exhaustion (that fatigue is something else) I’m now playing catch up.
Once the gallery’s in place I hope you'll enjoy my work, described as follows by the writer and broadcaster, Andy West: “Pam creates vivid portraits with a multidimensional luminosity to them.”
I’ve always had a slightly bizarre ‘trait’ of seeing colours and images when people talk to me about their intense emotional experiences. And I finally decided to release these images through painting.
One profound thing I’ve discovered over the years in my work, including interviewing people on radio and television, is the powerful ability for people to cling on to a spark of hope and positivity even when faced with challenging issues.
Each painting reflects a person’s story and I’d be humbled if I manage to capture that in my work – the sometimes dire challenges and yet glimmers of a hopeful spirit.
Thank you for taking the time to look at the gallery once it’s up.
This photo is of a painting called New Lease of Life After Trauma. I interviewed this woman about 15 years ago and after two traumas hitting her in a row, she came out the other side saying she felt “springtime in the air”.
You’ll note the darker shades at the bottom of the painting representing the traumas. Emerging from that area is the spring-flower and plant-like work around the female forms that ‘dance’ across the painting. It’s slightly pagan in feel, like a fertility dance or celebration of life but hopefully it reveals her personal journey.
And here's a close up:
