About the artist - Pamela Marie Carr

Thank you for stopping by! I am a bas-relief artist, where my figures elegantly rise from the background. My work encompasses low, medium, and high relief forms. Think of the artistry found on coins, ancient Egyptian tombs, or impressive monuments.

My artistic journey started in Petitcodiac, NB, participating in numerous shows, charity auctions, galleries, art exhibitions, coffee houses, city halls, libraries, and events in nearby cities such as Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton, Saint Andrews, Saint Martins, and many more. Eventually, I made my way to Fort Saskatchewan, where I showcase my work in more art-friendly venues.

Creating each piece begins with building a properly sized canvas tailored to the subject, and sometimes I even assemble multiple canvases. My process involves softly defining the edges before delving into intense layering of plaster and intricately carving the details. I spend hours sanding and shaping the plaster until every detail is just right.

The final stage involves applying paint, which requires an array of tools and creative materials. Each stroke of the palette knife lays the groundwork for vibrant colors and emotional contrasts. What results is a piece of art set in stone—something to be cherished for years to come.
