Artist Statement:
Biscuit’s Beginnings is a collection of mixed media, I began creating for myself. I did not know I was creating a work of art until a friend of mine said, “you are an artist!” I went from wood to small stretched canvas. I was on my voyage using various pieces I had found and made them into something which told you how I felt.
My second collection Love Made Visible, was for richer or poorer, in sickness & health “till death do us part in way no one could understand.
Although my work goes against any traditional teachings, I have formed my own personal individual style. I am telling you a love story through each creation and name. It is up to the viewer to come to their own conclusions.
I am dedicated to the vision of spreading delight through my artwork. My colorful and attention-grabbing images elicit an irresistible flow of emotions through which the viewer emanates the possibility of being fascinated by more than one piece. “ My continual need for self -expression motivates me to find and create new inspiring patterns,” “In Queenie’s Art Gallery” each canvas has a story to tell, each piece is uniquely created in my studio with a synthesis of imagination and reality.
I hope when you encounter my art, it helps you feel life on some of its highest and lowest levels. I try to maintain a sense of humor and allow you, the viewer, into my most intimate thoughts and life experiences.” My work truly and gently leads you down a path of encouragement and comfort. Its serene, and sometimes chaotic, energy leaves a lasting impression on the core of your being. With the use of new techniques look for upcoming creations, Pam Cole’s Renaissance Collection, at Queenie’s Palace along with new collages promise to showcase an even more exuberant attitude and liveliness. Travel the visual footsteps with her, as I continues I “Journey to Inner Peace.”

Artist Statement:
Although my style goes against all traditional teachings, I have expressed my life’s story with its highs and lows. Using various mediums, I cut glue, paint, on wood and canvas. By naming each piece I give it a life of it’s own, hoping to evoke emotional conversation amongst my viewers.
