Born in Devon, Pamela now lives in Wales where her studio looks out directly at the landscape which is so influential in her work. The same visual and technical threads run through both her silversmithing and jewellery, combining subtly curved forms with textured surfaces in a variety of finishes.
Her first workshop was established in the 1980s; since when she has produced jewellery and small objects in many materials including resins and silk-screened PVC, but metals have always claimed priority, especially silver.
A few years ago she began working at a larger scale, and now silversmithing is an important part of her practice.
A continuous preoccupation has been landscape in all its moods, big spaces with tiny details; and currently, the ambiguity and shape-shifting nature of the light on the hills. This is not landscape as pastoral idyll, but a place bearing evidence of continuous layers of survival.
Pamela’s most recent work is several series of related vessel forms with two distinct profiles, in silver. She also continues to make small collections of jewellery that explore interior spaces and hidden elements, in silver and gold.
Both strands of her award-winning work are exhibited nationally and internationally, and are represented in both public and private collections.
