Pam Posey is a Los Angeles-based artist who examines the natural world and how it can be represented through painting. She reimagines landscapes by mapping the experience of being in nature while she paints.
As Posey explains, “It’s not just what I see in the landscape, but what I see happening as I paint that I want to understand and depict. Landscape painting is a way of constructing boundaries on the boundless. Back in the studio, I remember these places and work as if I am walking in the landscape, reliving its conditions as I paint. This is when painting in all of its sensuous pleasure and recalcitrance takes over.”
Posey’s work has been exhibited at galleries and institutions including Diane Rosenstein Gallery, Los Angeles; Craig Krull Gallery, Santa Monica; Praz-Delavallade; Otis College Ben Maltz Gallery; Sturt Haaga Gallery; Angels Gate Cultural Center; Cerritos College Art Gallery; and the Huntington Beach Art Center. She has attended several artist residencies in Iceland and, most recently, at the Morris Graves Foundation. Her curatorial projects include “Nature Interrupted” at the 18th Street Art Center and “Suzanne Anker: Culturing Life” at Crossroads School’s Sam Francis Gallery.
