Born 1978, a contemporary artist who is best known for her unique bleaching technique on national flags. Pam uses dye, stitch and traditional skills to paint, embellish and distress vintage materials in her own breed of painting.
Heavily inspired by film, her strong cinematic paintings often use screen stills of women in horror films and film noir as their starting point. She obsessively watches contemporary and classic movies to capture a pivotal moment; when a character is being chased, startled or discovered by the enemy. The result is often compellingly beautiful and yet has some element of vulnerability.
Pam's large-scale work has been showcased extensively in the UK and internationally in over 60 exhibitions.
Her work features in collections in Europe, USA, Asia and Australia.
