Artist Statement
Storytelling, myths, and religious iconography show us the possibilities of change, alchemical transmutations from the mundane life we lead. Through traditional imagery, text materials, and painting methodology, my work invites a questioning of the ideal. Paintings that hint at the seduction of beauty, jewels, and brocades cocoon then bind us into a misplaced serenity.
About the Artist
Full-time painter Pam Hawkes was born in Birmingham, England, and still lives in the Midlands. She received her bachelor’s degree in fine art from Coventry University/Solihull College and her master’s in fine art from the University of Central England.
From 1998 to 2011, Hawkes was Visiting Lecturer in Fine Art at Solihull College and University of Wolverhampton.
Since 2001, Hawkes has exhibited her work in several dozen group and solo shows. Her paintings were included in the 2011 British Art Fair in London and at Catto Gallery and Flying Colours Gallery in 2012. Hawkes was given a solo exhibition in September 2013 at Celia Lendis Gallery, Moreton in the Marsh, England.
I like these very much–there’s a bit of the Golden Book of Fairytales to it, which I enjoyed in my childhood. It was illustrated by Adrienne Segur
I have found my new favorite artist.
