This series of paintings depict the colorful lichens found in southwest Colorado. Multiple layers of acrylic glazes are used to create the lichen textures in relief.

Wood-relief composition, also known as intarsia, has been practiced for centuries in nearly every culture. Pam is now taking it in a new direction with her bright colors and stylized designs. Each of her pieces is a unique work designed and produced by Pam and her husband, Dennis. Pam develops a detailed drawing, which is transferred to woods of varying thickness and cut on a scroll saw by Dennis to create relief. These cut pieces are refined by Pam's carving and ultimately painted in bold and bright acrylics. An integral part of each piece is the custom frame built by Dennis as the finishing touch to the work. Lastly, a polycrylic finish is applied to complete the process.

This series of intarsia landscapes are called Contours. For this series, Pam used a smaller format and painted each of the four edges with a dark color that gives them a finished look.

A walk across the mesa is as fascinating and spectacular underfoot as the landscapes of sky and mountain in the distance.

These six paintings depict a part of the infinite variety of the forest floor we walk upon.
