Pamella Branch has always loved the spirit of water.
Pamella started drawing in elementary school, covering her books and desk with pencil drawings. Upon High School graduation, she attended Sheridan College School of Design and The Ontario College of Art (OCAD). Pamella's pursuit began as a Graphic Designer working in Design Firms and Advertising Agencies. Eventually, she turned to painting, while working at an art gallery part-time in Blue Mountain Village, Ontario. Since then, her work has been represented in Purple Hills Studio Tours, The Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts Studio Tour, various galleries including The Gladstone Hotel in Toronto and the L.E. Lakeshore Library Gallery, Thornbury, Ontario, and The Craig Gallery in Meaford.
"As a child, my parents had a cottage on Georgian Bay, where I learned to swim at the age of two. My love for water has never left me, as I incorporate water in most of my paintings. Oil paint used with bold intensity give the compositions movement, impact and emotional intimacy with each painting. The love I have for the subject is evident in the spirit of water and land I paint. Sometimes my view is only accessible from the water.
Please enjoy their whimsy as much as I enjoyed painting these scenes."
