Artist Spotlight: Pamela Munger
Pamela got me hooked. She was my gateway drug into this wonderful world of art collecting. Kinda like the first time I had those mini chocolate hard shell Cadbury eggs (which are straight up crack). I haven’t been able to stop since.
As well as some very affordable prints on various sites, like Artfully Walls.
Here’s some insight into Pamela’s work:
“What draws me to painting is the combination of creativity, solitude and limitless possibilities. I'm all about experimentation with paint, surfaces and subject matter but I like to keep it simple and innocent, avoiding detail and not giving away the whole story. I lean towards the abstract because that's where I can truly be creative and people can develop their own interpretation based on what they see, but I also do the occasional painterly landscape or still life. I've noticed that's one of the trickiest things about painting....trying to focus on what to paint since I want to paint everything!
My career as an artist started when I was teaching English and was looking for something to do creatively. I was given some art supplies one Xmas, painted my first painting and that was it. I was hooked. What started as a keen hobby grew to be a part time income and now I work full time as an artist. I'm from southern California, and currently reside in rural western Colorado where my husband and I have a farm where we grow hops for the Colorado microbreweries. ( Misty Mountain Hop Farm- Cheers!) The big open sky and mountainous land are a constant inspiration for my art.”
I told Pamela that some of my clients have a difficult time pulling the trigger when it comes to purchasing art. I asked her what advice she could offer for someone who might be new to the world of art collecting. Here’s what she said…
“Start with a small one and just buy what you love. You’ll find a place for it in your home.” Great advice, Pamela! I can certainly attest to the power of one small painting.
That’s all for this week, friends! Now go out and treat yourself, and your walls, to a new piece of art. It will get you one step closer to a home you love!
