Florida Artists Group

Pamela's Bio:

Part of being an artist is to allow for the unexpected; to thrive on artistic change even as you mourn it. Trained in conventional photographic processes, I have chosen to specialize in Alternative methods.
For many years I’ve fulfilled my creative vision through Polaroid art techniques. Just as I hit my stride, Polaroid stopped producing film.

Rather than grieve my loss, I’ve channeled my photographic vision by reestablishing my roots:
black & white photography. But this time, I’ve added a twist: Infrared. The stark, ethereal beauty
of infrared allows me to observe the common, yet record it in my uncommon way.
