Pamela Day Resume
As evident in the CV below, Pamela continues to actively show her work competitively. Her series of artworks in solo shows, individual works in group exhibits.
Her processes weave back and forth from 2 to 3 dimensions. Three-dimensional works fluctuate from sculptural, high to low- to mid-relief clay work, even combining constructed environs for her Grimm series, creating an illustrative story in clay and paint.
Gouache (opaque watercolor) paintings she loves for the consistent matte surface and the depth of color she is able to achieve. She tends to work in series with the types of subject matter and style she generates – still stylized-realism is cohesive throughout her works.
Pamela is an active member and continues to serve on the Board of the Brighton Art Guild in several capacities from President, Exhibition Chair, Curator, and Education Chair. She is a Signature member of the Michigan Water Color Society, belongs to the Michigan Ceramic Art Association, and has been a member of the Detroit Society of Women Painters and Sculptors.
