1980’s — 1990’s
Pamela presented wearable art and women’s accessory collections during the 1980’s and 1990’s. These were one of a kind and limited edition, dynamic looking apparel items that were hand painted and beaded. Accessories designed by Pamela were bold and unique. Her designs sold through major retailers including SAK’S Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom’s, J.W. Robinson’s as well as in boutiques and art galleries across the nation. The San Francisco SAKS Fifth Avenue featured Pamela’s creations in their exclusive Designer Case. Pamela also presented her collections in several of their store locations including Beverly Hills, San Francisco, and South Coast Plaza.
Current
Lake Tahoe and Southern California desert areas influence the current work presented by Pamela. Pristine water and powerful rock formations, dramatically vivid sunsets and clear dark nights seen both at Tahoe and in the desert inspire and shape Pamela’s current work. Full sheets of watercolor paper may depict a small view of lake water and lake bottom with light patterns playing across the surface; pieces of canvas twelve feet long carry a tumble of colorful fall leaves or a stretch of lake water, massive boulders and pristine sky; a palate of jewel tones offsets a composition of organically shaped granite stones; delicate wildflowers are presented in exacting detail. This artistic expression is a result of a combination of prior influences that has culminated in an expressionistic presentation of the natural beauty surrounding us in these two very special locations.
