Pamela Caughey is an abstract expressionist artist from Montana, USA. She works in cold wax and oils, mixed media, encaustic and acrylic paint, and her work is in the permanent collection of several museums and public spaces nationally and internationally. Her work also appears in the book “Cold Wax Medium: Techniques, Concepts and Conversations”. She is now a full time abstract expressionist artist and teaches locally and abroad.

Try to fail and embrace ugly.
Be true to yourself.

Pamela talks to us about:

What it means to be an abstract expressionist
Her artistic process - and her experience with procrastination, fear and perfectionism - and her 4 step process
The importance of play and being honest
The appeal of abstract art
How she changed from being a biochemist to an abstract artist
How to go from being vulnerable to bullet proof in your art
Why she wants to “fail” in her art
Having a defined style versus constantly exploring, and how to have a personal voice while constantly changing.
Pamela’s favourite medium (she works in four mediums)
How she recovered after a wild fire burnt down their house and her studio
A look into her studio as it is now
What inspires her and keeps her going
What she teaches in her signature course for artists
A day in her life as a full time abstract expressionist artist
Her words of wisdom to artists
