Self-taught sculptor and skateboarder. My aim with this series is to celebrate the iconic nature of the skateboard as well as the creative/destructive energy that goes into forming the raw material I start with. As a person who obsesses about all the different wood species, I have come to see these broken and banged up pieces of plywood as a type of exotic material. Not because it's rare or expensive, but that it's been processed in very unique and specific ways. Creatively speaking, this series owes a lot to the culture and industry of skateboarding. Like making art, skateboarding is a very creative and personal outlet. It is also inherently destructive; boards get worn down, cracked and broken. It is a subtle and unintended type of wood sculpting.

Pam Moxley
Tomboy, 2009, 2/10 Edition
Photographic Image Transfers, Acrylic and Resin on Wood Board

Courtesy of Mason Fine Art.

Moxley is a self-taught artist who creates photo-based mixed media works. She spends much of her time chronicling the lives of her children and her surroundings, creating works that emote childhood memories for the viewer. Pam finishes each of the works with a poured layer of high gloss resin or wax. The combination of these techniques brings each of these individual works of art to life. Mixing the distress of the transfers with the brilliance of the resin creates a beautiful mix of nostalgia and high concept polish. Pam has been exhibiting her work throughout the US for the last several years and has had many solo exhibits. Pam's work is held in many private and public collections.

"I am human, and nothing of that which is human is alien to me." -Terence. Art does not show people what to do, yet engaging with a good work of art can connect us to our senses, body, and mind. It can make the world felt. And this feeling may spur thinking, engagement, and even action. I want my art to do just that, touch emotions and provoke thought and conversation. On the whole my work leans toward social/ political commentary. I am concerned with the human condition is all aspects. I believe that one of the major responsibilities of artists is to help people not only get to know and understand something with their minds but also to feel it emotionally and physically. This piece is of someone that many may pass on the street with little to no notice. I hope to cause folks to pause for a moment and acknowledge our mutual humanity.

You, 2021
Oil on canvas

Courtesy of the artist.

I studied Fine Art and Design at the UGA. My work is influenced by a variety of interests including: color interaction, minimalism, typography, landscape, social injustice and climate change. This donated painting is part of my 'Narrative' series where the oil paint is applied in my handwriting. The overlapping words may beg deciphering, but cryptography is not the goal. Just as notes appear to dance on the staff line, the words make a statement beyond their literal meaning. The kinetic energy of the handwritten word, taking a corporeal shape and status, conjures a new interpretation. I have attended eight artists' residencies, including Hambidge. I have exhibited in seven solo exhibitions and dozens of group shows. My paintings are prominently displayed in fine homes and corporate collections around the country and have appeared in many national publications.
