Painting

“Overtime as the drawings developed, it became clear that although i was bringing them to fruition, they were creating themselves. They were curating their own stories through their expression and color palette.” 

“My art comes from my heart and therefore my paintings represent a part of my soul. I began to look internally instead of externally to discover what emotions. actions, and intentions were trying to tell me, and how they’ve helped me grow and flourish as an artist and resident of this Earth.”

In the studio, I love creating large scale acrylic paintings which have recently been about places and cities, and draw inspiration from maps and topography. I also create custom watercolor pet and house/landscape portraits on my etsy page. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi! My name is Pampi. I believe in and work towards the application of the arts for strategic intervention and political mobilization of people's movements. On that note, I design wearable art; develop experimental performance pieces through community workshop techniques; write poetry; and host potlucks. I am currently making a big leap: committing to securing a studio. While my forte is in pen and ink, I enjoy experimenting with video, poetry, movement and installation. In my work I tend to engage issues of identity, gender, sexuality and the body politic.
