Artwork Description

On a trip around Australia we camped for a few days at Trephina Gorge in the Eastern MacDonnell Ranges in Central Australia. One evening the sun was casting a coppery glow over the landscape due to a burn-off in the area. This gave the waters of Trephina Creek the appearance of liquid gold. I felt as though I was in the midst of a giant painting and raced back to the campsite to grab my camera so I didn't miss the chance to capture the scene before the light changed.

Artist Bio

Pam is a highly regarded professional artist with a diverse background in both photography and painting. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Tasmania, Pam established and ran a successful photography studio in Hobart for 20 years, building a reputation for artistic excellence and professional expertise.
Following retirement from photography, Pam turned to painting, channeling a long-held passion into a new creative pursuit. Now based in country Victoria, Pam works from a small home studio, where the influence of years of photographic practice continues to shape the artistic process.
Pam’s photography background informs her painting on multiple levels—most notably in the use of light to evoke mood, the application of colour, and an acute understanding of composition, perspective, and point-of-view. This deep understanding of visual storytelling shines through in her work, with a particular affinity for wide-angle views inspired by her landscape photography roots.
A deep love for nature serves as a continual source of inspiration, and Pam finds creativity in the beauty and details of the world around her.
