ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Pamela Sukhum | Natural Surrealism
Pamela Sukhum's
paintings are characterized by rich colors, textures, and warm radiant
energy. Her use of both broad sweeping lines and delicate intricate
details give her work a depth and dimension truly unique in the art
world. Pamela's art is fueled by spiritual and human connections forged
during her journeys around the globe, from the monasteries of Tibet to the
refugee camps of Africa.
Formerly a researcher in
Cardiovascular Health and Electrophysiology, Pamela left the biomedical field
in 2003 to pursue her true passion: Painting. With barely enough
money in hand for the first month’s rent, she moved into her downtown
Minneapolis studio space to begin her new journey. Years later, Pamela’s
paintings are featured in the most prominent fine art galleries in North
America, Canada, and Dubai, both reigniting the fire of seasoned art
connoisseurs, and sparking a new generation of fine art collectors.
Amongst other honors, she was awarded the prestigious Director’s Choice Award
at ArtExpo New York.
Sukhum, an avid
traveler, has studied and deepened her creative spirit in Thailand, Nepal,
Tibet, South America, and Africa. Through her “Beautiful Project”, Pamela
has worked with underprivileged children and communities in Africa, Central
America, and the United States– helping them use art as a healing and
self-empowering force in their lives.
