Pamela Watters 
Pamela Watters is an artist who uses the medium of pastel in painterly
fashion. “Pastel is my medium of choice because my objective is to
create bold & dynamic art with gestural energy. I love the pure
colors, the immediacy, and the feeling that the pastel stick is an
extension of my fingers. Practically any effect that can be achieved
with any other medium can be accomplished with pastel. In pastels I
have the best of all possible worlds; speed, directness of
execution, permanence and vivid color.”
Ms.
Watters’ landscapes reflect her love of the lush surroundings found in
the Southeast. Whether the subject matter is figurative, still life or
landscape, she captures excitement in her work by combining
techniques of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists with
outrageous colors of the Fauves. She strives to project a feeling of
shimmering light, movement and explosive colors within each painting
that captures the imagination of the viewer.
Watters grew up in Fort Payne, Alabama, a small town in the foothills
of the Appalachians in Northeast Alabama, where her family has lived
for generations. She now lives and works near Atlanta, GA.
Ms.
Watters’ work is represented in many private and public collections
including those of Ellis Marsalis, The Delta Blues Museum, Michael
Moore, Summit Records, Icehouse Records, Duck Tape Music and the US
Government. She is a juried member of the Degas Pastel Society, the
Southeastern Pastel Society, and is past President of the Huntsville
Art League. Her work has won numerous awards, and has been exhibited
throughout the country.
