Pamela Wilson’s works of art transcend
the commonplace to enter the realm of the
sublime and otherworldly. She develops
haunting images that evoke moods and
memories inspired by real life, and which
create a remarkably compelling narrative.
The physical and emotional isolation of her
characters has emerged as a hallmark of
her work. She has much to say of the dark
and hilarious absurdities we must often
endure... while we are creating ourselves.
Primarily a figurative painter, Wilson
has worked in many other mediums,
including photography, printmaking,
and assemblage. She received her MFA
from the University of California,
Santa Barbara, where she was
awarded a Regents Fellowship, the
Abrams Project Grant, and a Regents
Award for her Thesis Exhibition. She
is currently Mentor Faculty at Laguna
College of Art & Design, Laguna, CA,
as part of the MFA Program.
Wilson has exhibited consistently since 1992 in
galleries in New York, Chicago, Miami,
Philadelphia, California, and Santa Fe. She has
been included in many museum exhibitions,
including the National Museum for Women in
the Arts, Washington DC, and a solo exhibition
at the Arnot Art Museum, Elmira, NY. Her
work is included in many prestigious
collections. She is currently represented by
Evoke Contemporary Gallery, Santa Fe, NM,
and Sarah Bain Gallery, Anaheim, CA.
