Artist’s Information Pamela Wells

Pamela is a visual artist from California, based in the West Midlands since 1995. Using a wide range of materials - everything from paint to clay to plastic - she initiates artist-led adventures as well as co-operating with galleries and organisations internationally. Often intervening and overlapping with constructed public space or ‘the urban fabric’, the content, process and context of her work reflect and are affected by this.
Current projects include engaging with Country Roscommon’s Fire Service in Ireland and ‘DISHINIT’ in Stoke-on-Trent, making 404 bowls with 101 people. For more information, please see:
