As a history buff, artist, and former resident of Charleston, SC, I will probably always paint from locations there because it is an endless source of inspiration. My love of living in the South shows in my painting subject matter. A recent move to Raleigh, NC has opened up new art venues, subjects, and friends. I grew up in Hickory, NC, where my maiden name was Pamela Prestwood.

I live life “seeing” artistically, always composing paintings in my imagination from everyday experiences. My favorite mediums are pastel and Interactive Acrylics. Each has a quality I love to use that I can’t get with the other. Color thrills me! My work is considered to be contemporary impressionist, and I usually like to run my compositions off of the edges of the painting to imply the world around the subject.

Art should be understandable to any viewer. I believe 'fine arts' denotes a realm of higher thinking and asthetic creativity that can be widely appreciated within the universal understanding of beauty. Motives of the heart of an artist for creating a painting to be shared with the public should contribute in a universally positive way to the culture. When an artist leads a viewer inward, his/her intention should be to lead them out again to be better--not baser. I hope to use my inspiration to in turn inspire others, intending to be a blessing to viewers and collectors as they relate to a timeless composition that is universally appealing.

I hope visitors to my site to see artwork will also check out my gallery of unique handcrafted jewelry. My jewelry creations are named to convey the source of my inspiration. It is my hope that the name helps collectors enjoy the jewelry in a richer way by stirring your own imagination! Every piece is unique. I use only sterling silver, gold-filled, and copper metals, and use real stones, crystals, and pearls, as well as unique glass such as beach glass or interesting pendants. Many selections have a signature hammered clasp that I designed. Prices include shipping.

If collectors are interested in purchasing originals using PayPal, please see my www.pamelapoole.com website. If an original you see here is not posted there for purchase, please contact me. All prices include shipping in the USA, but I will also ship internationally and will access the extra cost according to the painting.

To keep up with news and my personal posts as an artist, visitors can join my fan page on facebook as Pamela Poole Fine Art, and on Twitter as PamelaPooleArt. As the creator and administrator of an online facebook group called Higher Vision, I also look forward to participating in that community of artists, writers, musicians, and interested friends as we interact and share our creative challenges. This group has gathered together with the common interest of a commitment to a social conscience for creating only family-friendly works.

My current artist affiliations include guilds and Art Centers local to my home. I enjoy teaching and doing community art events to meet people; paint in public, and speak to groups.

Nothing I can ever do in this life, no relationship I have here, and nothing I can study and teach to anyone would have any meaning apart from my salvation and faith in Jesus Christ. My joy in Him and sharing His love with others keeps my perspective on doing it all for His glory.
(Ephesians 3:20, 21).
