Featured Artist: Pamela Davis
We’re excited to have Pamela Davis’ art displayed in our office!
Pamela lives in the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota, USA, where her imagination can roam freely. Her small town is named Ely and supports a well established artist community. Along her path, she joined in the opening of a new Gallery offering local artists a place to display and sell their work. Motivated by the experience and camaraderie, she purchased the Art & Soul Gallery & Gift House in Ely, MN.
She weaves colorful reed sculptures, baskets, and tapestries with hand dyed materials. She uses colorful glass beads in her beadwork. Jewerly making has become another passion. Currently Pamela is exploring leather art suggested by her husband’s locally harvested deer hide. Her art can be viewed and purchased from the Ely Art & Soul Gallery at 427 E. Sheridan St., Ely, MN, USA 55731. Email info@elysartandsoul.com. www.elysartandsoul.com

Artist's Statement:
I enter the woods and become enchanted by the mysteries contained in the deep forest. My imagination springs open with color, materials, and assemblage.
