Artist's Statement Lynne Arovas
I find mixed media/collage to be a very forgiving medium which is in part why I relate and enjoy the process. There is always the possibility to change--recreate. I usually begin by drawing and/or painting many designs, shapes, doodles, and written thoughts onto paper. The materials I gravitate to most are colored markers, pen, paint, crayon, colored paper, and acrylic gloss/matte medium. Once I feel I have enough designs to work with, I start on cutting the drawings (etc.) up, arranging and gluing the pieces to a paper surface then sealing with an acrylic medium. These cutting, pasting, and sealing steps continue many times over which often results in the collage having a tile like quality.
“Energy in order” is one way I would describe my work. Arranging expressive designs of nervous energy in a contained, structured way is for me a very calming and almost meditative experience. There is satisfaction placing “chaos” in order, and excitement combining these contrasting elements into a dynamic composition. My goal for a collage is reached when I am finally content with the color harmony, pattern relation, and dimension created.
Pam Tucker Biography
Pam Tucker, born in Frankfurt, Germany, is a representational painter whose focus is on the figure and portrait.
Her artistic training began at Western Michigan University where she majored in art history. After graduating, she moved to Washington, DC, and later New York City to train as a graphic designer. After working in the design field for several years, Pam relocated to Westchester county to raise her family and develop her fine art.
Pam’s work is based on the academic rigor of the French academic drawing method. Her pieces fuse a precise “sight-size” approach with a modern expressionist aesthetic. She works in oil, watercolor, charcoal and graphite pencil.
Pam is a member of the Reilly League of Artists, located in White Plans, NY. She also docents at the Neuberger Museum of Art in Purchase, NY and teaches painting on an international cruise ship line. |
