Pamela Sukhum

Two years ago, I traded my lab coat in for a painter's smock.  Until then I had worked both as a scientist (concentration in cardiovascular care) and at nights, as an undercover artist (concentration also in matters of the heart).  As a Thai-American, Artist/Scientist my life has been one of contradictions and dualistic experiences that translate themselves into my paintings.

A memory, thought, or experience ignites an idea.  I begin my paintings by creating chaos with a rapid finger-painting for a base layer.  I then order the chaos by going in with meticulous and deliberate brushstrokes.  Finally, I seek to integrate the work by visually reconciling the paradox that began in my mind.
