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 recent work continues to explore these themes, beginning with drawings and prints, before translating her ideas into metals. Her expressive vessel forms in silver, designed to stand alone or in groups, are complemented by small collections of jewellery that often express the drawn line.
Both strands of her award-winning work are exhibited nationally and internationally, and are represented in both public and private collections.
