About Pam Roth O'Mara

Painting is performance art for me. I work primarily in acrylic on stretched canvas. Color sets the tone for the work. Action and movement is everything. My process has been evolving.

Originally, I placed the canvas on a table and then placed a coating of one or two colors: typically yellow and orange, or blue. Then sprayed, painted, dabbed, scraped, and dripped colors across the canvas. More recently I've added elements of color in broad strokes, lines, squares, circles, and rectangles. I build the layers gradually, balancing the entire work; adding color and shapes as needed to keep the piece balanced. A piece is done when it pops and the elements work together.

Other activities: improvisational actor and coach, guide at Plains Conservation Center, CO.
