About:
Artist Pamela Larsson-Toscher
As a child, I
learned to speak with my hands…My parents were deaf. Even
then, I understood that my hands could be used to express my
thoughts and feelings and to interpret the world around me. In
a way, my painting is simply a logical extention of that early
childhood experience. I see the world through an artist’s
eye. It is not a snapshot of a person or a place or an object.
Rather, what I see is filtered through the prism of my
thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I then use my hands to
express that vision, be it reality or fantasy, in oil on
canvass using techniques of the old masters.
My challenge
is to capture the essence of my subject and invite the viewer
into my painting…He may connect with the same vision I
had…or she may create one of her own. When I first began
working in my present studio, I felt a strong presence of the
artists who had worked there before me. Shortly after, I had a
dream of an owl swooping down on a scorpian with the hope of
finding his dinner. I sculpted this vision and it has become
my working mantra… “Face your fears with
intelligence” I hope that my work evokes feelings,
inspires thought, creates a beautiful space…
