Pam Harold


ARTIST STATEMENT

"From my studio I watch the continually changing light on Puget Sound and each day brings a new artistic challenge. I begin with a careful drawing,then paint the basic washes quite freely and gradually weave color through my painting to connect the shapes and build up transparent layers of paint to emphasize the play of light and shadow. I am always excited by glowing colors and strong shapes. I want to capture the light as it hits the edge of an object and glows within the shadows. I paint in celebration of my vision and to encourage the viewer to see the world in a new and special way."

Pamela Harold is a noted watercolor artist, teacher and lecturer. Her paintings have won many awards and are included in several corporate collections including Rick Steves Europe Through the Back Door and City of Edmonds. She is on the board of the Edmonds Art Commission and the board of WPW.

Born in Rossland, BC, Canada, Pamela attended art schools in Banff and Vancouver, and Nova Scotia. She is a graduate of Vancouver Teacher's College in Vancouver and taught elementary art, grades four through eight.
