Update April 25, 2012
Welcome to my new web-site! It's still a work in progress, but keep checking it out as I will be adding more paintings
as time goes by (and as my pal Chris teaches me how to do it!).
Last month, I completed my very large ( 20' x 6' ) comissioned piece for The United Way and Agincourt Community Services.
I really enjoyed the challenge of coming up with a piece for a blind and seeing audience! If I was a musician, it would of been like being asked to write a song for the deaf. (When I'm at the top of my computer learning curve, I'll post a sample of the end result).
Strangers In A Changed Land
We know the issues of our environment are crucial.
And one of our many problems is human development erasing animal's habitats and therefore threatening the survival of many species.
I thought it would be interesting to take this idea of the world getting smaller to the limit. By creating new architecture from photos of buildings from different cultures and adding a species of animal that does not belong,
I hope to create ( if not a realistic) a thought provoking effect.

The Butterfly Effect
December 2010 by Pamela Mingo
I used the butterfly to look at movement and how when put in different environments, can affect the entire feeling of the painting; for example the delicate butterfly existing in the concrete city.
I also thought it would be interesting to use photo transfer which gives a different sense of reality than what the brush can do.
Butterflies are a great vehicle for colour and always seem to be on the move.
Movement and colour…two things I love to paint.
