Biography from the artist: Landscape painter and portraitist
Pamela M. Miller was born in NYC, New York and raised in Flushing. She received
a teacher’s certification from Northland College in Wisconsin. Miller has
supplemented her painting career with various jobs over the years, including
owning a clay mixing business with her sister, driving a school bus, and
teaching in local schools. She and her husband Dave currently own Moon Arbor
Studios in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Pottery, woodworking, and painting are the
focuses of the duo’s production.
Miller is known for her landscapes with hay rolls, which she
wants to capture before they disappear from the Bucks County scene forever. In
the 1980’s, Miller began to work with pastels, finding joy in the immediacy of
that medium. She has developed her own technique of sharpening her sticks and
using them like finely pointed brushes. Miller is also a portrait artist for
children. She exhibits regularly at the Phillips’ Mill Annual Art Exhibitions
in New Hope and at the Coryell Gallery in Lambertville, New Jersey. She was
part of the Phillips’ Mill 75th Retrospective Invitational show in 2005.
ARTIST STATEMENT: In
the mid-eighties I needed to change painting mediums. But from oils to what?
While studying with Bonnie McLean in Buckingham I was introduced to pastels.
What fun! Pure color. Spontaneous and immediate. One can leave a painting in
progress and come back whenever time allows. I like to compose landscapes
defined by intense color and the changing light of day. Many of my landscapes
represent the round shape in the familiar form of a hayroll. These icons are
part of the local scene that will soon disappear. The big sky and agricultural
contours of the Sugan Road and Kitchens’ Lane will be a memory. It is to the
simple pleasure of viewing a field, to the work of a farmer’s imprint on the
land, and to the long-playing motion picture of the seasons that I dedicate my
paintings.
