The John Rylands Library Painting

Working from her studio in the beautiful Peak District, Pam takes inspiration from the natural and built environment, painting flowers, landscapes and architecture in striking colours. Her intricate work, often graphic in style, combines elements of pattern and decoration with a vibrant colour palette. She is drawn to the details and decorative patterns found in beautiful historic buildings and enjoys the process of abstracting these elements to create complex overlapping designs in a kaleidoscope of colours. Pam graduated with a BA Hons in Graphic Design and with a travel bursary from the Royal Society of Arts she set out on a seven month journey of discovery around India where her love of colour and pattern was indulged and saturated. After a twenty four year career as a specialist art teacher, she now works full time as an artist, running courses for adults and art groups.
