Pamela Hoke
Pansy Passion 1, Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
A fully-bloomed pansy flower displays the velvety texture of its petals. The vein markings and subtle shadows define its delicate form. Artist Pamela Hoke paints the same subject each year to remind herself of her deep connection to her childhood and her grandmother tending to her beautiful garden. This practice also helps her discover how her skills and creative views shift over time.


About the Artist
Profound sensory experiences of nature unfold in artist Pamela Hoke's stylistically primitive representation of the world and her connection to it. Her vast array of subjects, including landscapes, florals, and animal portraits, emerge as intuitive expressions of energy in motion. She creates her own paint with natural earth and mineral pigments mixed with walnut oil—a beautiful and organic process used by the old masters. Pamela received her degree in fine arts at Ohio State University. Being fully immersed in the natural world ignited her creativity and increased her sense of belonging and overall well-being. She shares a semi-private studio with a group of painters on San Juan Island called the Friday Harbor Atelier. Her station remains tidy, but only until she unleashes her prowess. "No barriers and limits during the creating process," says Pamela. Her works have been featured in Ohio, Florida, and Washington and published in Martin County's local newspaper. Currently, in graduate school at the University of Washington, Pamela aims to develop as a leader and polish decades of research in the final version of her illustrated book. She enjoys hiking, cultural events, and volunteering with her loved ones when she's not creating art.

    A pink chrysanthemum blooms in artist Pamela Hoke's lively floral piece. "An island friend gifted me with an enchanting autumnal bouquet from her farm," shares Pam. The playful waving magenta petals drew her attention and compelled her to paint the flower. Pam expresses the vibrant bloom in naturally flowing paint strokes.

    Artist Comments
    Artist Pamela Hoke displays a rustic view of two eggs on a bird's nest. She reflects on the details of a rare artistic journey inspired by the excitement of spring. The impasto texture of the nest builds a striking contrast to the smooth cloudy sky. Pamela paints with a mixture of natural earth paint and walnut oil, allowing the colors to naturally flow.
