A unique feeling for evocative colour and a rich palette link Pamela Scott Wilkie's paintings, prints and artist's books which are in public and private collections in the UK and many parts of the world. She was born in London and studied Fine Art with a former student of W. R. Sickert going on to win The Royal Academy David Murray Landscape Studentship and a Travel Scholarship. Her first solo show was in New York and her work has since been widely exhibited and recognised by arts awards, she has also held various lecturing appointments. Her particular concern is with exploring memories and perceptions of real experience as well as a sense of place, and visits abroad are often used as a basis for metaphorical journeys. Her paintings and prints usually develop from observed drawing and are honed until they communicate a mysterious and lasting resonance.
