About "Bird's Paradise "
Walking in Umhlanga on the Natal coast these strelitzia (bird of paradise) were starting to fade and the colours caught my attention. After taking the photo I had great joy in putting these flowers on canvas.

About Pamela
As a self- taught artist my memories take to me back to childhood, with colour and brush in hand, loving the flow of paint on paper. Having traveled extensively in southern Africa as a child, I grew to love the wide open spaces and flora of our land, its skies, colours and vastness.
Having studied art with distinction at school and attending oil painting art classes I returned to painting and creativity after my children had grown. I knew then that art and teaching remained my passion.
Running two bustling studios in the Johannesburg area of South Africa, time is limited, so when not teaching I'm in the studio creating at my easel, at peace with my world and life.
Art transports me to a place of peace and creativity. It's an inner journey.
After attending lessons with many prominent South African artists, my techniques vary, and I believe this has given me the diverse skills in the execution of different medium and genre. From my macro realistic florals where the petals overlap and cluster and seem to hold their fragrance, to the mixed media abstracts where lights and colour mix and blend in a continuous swirl of movement, to small empty landscapes with bold colourful cloudy skies... perhaps skyscapes?
Possibly my frame of mind necessitates the variances in the style of my art and often there are a few paintings in the studio waiting to be completed. Although large macro floral painting are my greatest passion. Color, texture, technique, and style are individually chosen for each work to convey mood and emotion. I love the diversity in the resulting artwork and hope that my collectors will too!
I admire the works and have been inspired by artists such as John Singer Sargent, JMW Turner, Richard Schmid, Nicole Pletts and Sorolla Joaquin.
Driven by soul and to find the elusive quality of light, I believe the viewer is invited to feel the emotions of the piece. To feel connected, to be part of the painting, to not want to let go.
