Pamela Pindell

---

“IMAGES CLOSE TO HOME”  a one woman exhibition at The Cape Cod Museum, Dennis , Ma.   May 29th - July 7, 2008.   A collection of figure drawings and oils, landscapes, gardens  and genre scenes from the artist’s surroundings/life on Nantucket.

Pamela Pindell is a particularly brilliant example of the new generation of Classical Realist painters. Working only from life and only in natural light, Pindall marries impeccable technique to an emotionally charged, highly personalized approach to her subject matter, producing art with an enormous sense of immediacy and power.

After graduating from Syracuse University, Pindell studied at the Tyler School of Art in Rome and immersed herself in the masterpieces of the Renaissance painters. But this study of the past, which for so many others has been simply an obligatory detour, was for Pindell an important key to her own present style, as she adopted and modernized many of the artistic idioms of the period. Subsequently, Pindell worked with Sidney Willis and Robert Cormier. In addition, she had gone for stylistic inspiration directly to the work of first generation Boston School artists William Paxton, Edmund Tarbell and Joseph DeCamp.

Pindell has won numerous prizes over the past few years including awards from the Ogunquit Art Center, Nantucket Artists' Association, the Hudson Valley Art Association, the Salmagundi Club Open in New York, the Cape Cod Art Association, the Academic Artists show and the American Pastel Society. In addition, she has exhibited in New York and the Audubon Artists show, the Lotus Club, the Catherine Lorrillard Wolfe show and the Allied Artists show. She is an elected member of the Guild of Boston Artists.
