Pastel & Charcoal
In the gallery April 1-30, 2018
excerpts from Pamela's artist statement

I specialize in painting and drawing.  Primarily working in pastel, the subject of my work ranges from the landscape and architectural studies to still life.  Over the last few years, my work has evolved through my investigation of the dimensional use of color.  This exhibition includes examples of types of works I produce.  I find that I study the landscape while the weather is tolerable and return to the still life in the winter months.

As painters, we strive to take a two-dimensional surface and make objects look as if they have weight, volume, and specific orientation in space. In my work, the interaction of color intensity and temperature creates the illusion of a sense of light, color, and form. Through my continued investigation of this psychological use of color, I work to exceed the limits of depth and invite you, the viewer, to enjoy the experience of exploring my use of color. When looking at the work be sure to stand back at times to see that my usage of color can hold its own in a vast space.

I have also included a few charcoal works.  I enjoy working with other mediums.  I find myself jumping from one to another throughout the year.
