About
With all the modern mechanical aids, with the cinema, with film,
and everything else, how are you going to trap reality, trap
appearance without making an illustration of it? The painter has to
be more inventive....... He has to reinvent Realism.
Francis Bacon, 1985

California Landscapes
Always drawn to the ever changing shadow and shape of the undulating hills of California, Pamela strives to reinterpret the actual into the sublime. As seasons change and light imposes, Pamela reacts to the color shift and intensity. Whether it be vineyards, mountains or plains, Pamela embraces the raw subject matter and manipulates the organic material to the next level, creating composition after composition of intriguing and provocative work.
Hawaii
Having grown up in the beautiful islands of Hawaii, Pamela will always
be a "local girl'. Her initial introduction to the art world occurred when she
was a student at Punahoe Schools in Honolulu. There her talent was recognized
early by exceptional teachers. Pamela continues to visit her beloved Hawaii 3-4
times a year, painting the exquisite landscapes, flora and fauna that only
Hawaii can offer.
Commercial and Public Art
Always striving for growth, Pamela has entered the public arena in a big way.
She has secured several public art projects in both the public and private
sector. Most importantly , she has enjoyed the process that accompanies the
competitive format. Her years in business has provided her with many resources
to be a viable candidate for many opportunities.
About Us
About
the Artist:
Pamela Anderson has a concentrated background in a variety of
mediums. As a graduate of University of California at Davis, she
was privileged to study under some of the greatest artists of
our time. These artists included Wayne Thiebaud, Robert Arneson
and Roy Deforest. During the 70’s, there was a movement known as
“California Funk”. This philosophy allowed the student a great
deal of exploration and experimentation. Pamela’s work reflects
this genre through her journey as a contemporary realist. Pamela
paints in plein aire and in her studio. Both venues afford
different but necessary opportunities to develop a successful
painting. Outdoors, she is initially drawn to the emotion and
playfulness generated by color, shape and shadow. Her rough
sketches are initiated on location and then completed in the
studio.Currently Pamela specializes in large scale landscapes for both the private and the public sector. For the most part these landscapes are done on canvas or masonite in oil pastel, acrylic or both. Color is her most valuable tool. She is constantly wheeling color’s magic into each composition to create an emotional patchwork of beauty. It is Pamela’s philosophy that her work should engage the viewer, incite emotion, stimulate thought and promote dialogue.
