'Pamela Kay paints with a clear eye and a steady hand, turning ordinary objects into scenes that feel freshly seen and quietly alive - and when her work hangs in a home, it brings that same sense of calm attentiveness into the room, settling the space with warmth, clarity and quiet dignity.'
Pamela Kay paints the things she knows and loves: flowers gathered from a garden, a dish pulled from the dresser, the ordinary objects that make a room feel lived in. Her paintings are built on long practice and clear looking. Nothing is theatrical; nothing is exaggerated. Instead, she works with a steady, disciplined approach that comes from years of observing how light falls, how colour behaves, and how the quiet details of a scene gradually reveal themselves.
Her early training in the atelier tradition - particularly her years working with John Ward RA - shaped the way she still works today: turn up, start on time, and paint what is in front of you with honesty. It is an approach that has stayed with her through decades of painting in watercolour, oil and gouache, whether she is in her studio, a garden, or travelling with a sketchbook in hand.
Pamela's still lifes, interiors and flower pieces are not nostalgic or decorative. They are built from a real affection for the subject and a long understanding of how to make it live on a page. She often says she is "still learning", even now, after a lifetime of painting - a reminder that for her, the work is about attention, patience and carrying on.
