Pam Foley

I have been a freelance professional sculptor for two decades. I specialise in abstract reinterpretations of the human form, creating pieces that reflect the themes of solitude and fleeting thoughts or emotions.
In my studio I work in clay and plaster to produce original sculptures from which I make moulds and resin casts. Several of my pieces are now available in bronze. I treat the casts with innovative and unique finishes.
I also teach life sculpture classes part-time, offer sculpture workshops, and am very active in art communities.
