Painting at the National Gallery
Pam is best known for her
Portraits, Still Lifes and Vanitas. Her career as an artist began in New York
as a decorative painter, but her desire for knowledge and adventure led her to
Italy. She studied the Masters at a small school in Florence and remained in
Tuscany for six years developing her craft.
She is a studio painter, trained to work in a darkened room with a
single, northern light source. The colors achieved by this technique yield lush
tones in Portraits as well as in Still Lifes. It is Pam's belief the spirit of
a person or object is best realized from actual life settings rather than from
photographs.
Pam is currently specializing in Vanitas, a genre of still life
painting dating back to Antiquity. The Vanitas is a portrait depicting the
person through the presentation of various objects and symbols. It is an
homage. A skull or snuffed out candle is often in the work to represent
mortality and the transient nature of the material life.
As a member of the Copyist Program at the National Gallery of Art
for 9 years, Pam
augmented her skills by recreating the likes of Turner, Rembrandt and Degas.
