Pamela Arent

Pamela works in a variety of mediums creating colorful works that play with patterns, layers, fluidity and form. Many of her canvases consist of multiple layers of washes where paint is repeatedly added and stripped away lending them an almost textile quality in appearance. Other pieces start with a very detailed and elaborate drawing which is then cut up and rearranged into a new composition. Her works on paper combine ink, watercolor and drawn lines in deliberate and delicate washes which many find reminiscent of maps. Her work examines the natural world through a lens of abstraction delving into notions of memory, connectedness, identity and place.
