I really like the works in Pamela’s Joy Girl collection. The artworks in this gallery vary quite a bit in terms of subject matter, but there is a strong undercurrent of joyfulness and exuberance, whether the artist is painting a detailed, gestural portrait of a mermaid, or a bright and fun rendition of tropical fruit. The sense of playful experimentation runs strong in these pieces, and the thick, bright paint lends a sense of inviting tactility to each work.
I find that Pamela’s landscape paintings are a bit more meditative. Many of these works depict beaches, and as such the planes of pale yet rich beige sand allow for a grounding point at the centre of each canvas, giving the viewer the sense of lying peacefully on the sand, if only for a moment or two.
