STATEMENT

“Pamela Staker examines abstraction through a compiled visual language of urban symbols, geometric shapes, figurative elements, and pops of nature. With thoughtful spontaneity, she creates works that are animated fragments of modern life.”

Available Paintings

My Artwork Archive page is an up-to-date catalog of currently available abstract paintings and mixed media works on paper.

I update this inventory regularly, so it reflects what is truly available.

Approximately 70% of my work is commission-based, so if you see something you love but need it tailored to your space, let’s work together!

Commissioned Art

Portfolio

The Portfolio Section is an overview of 18+ years of art making.

Some of these works are still available, many are long sold to corporate and residential clients. I have included a selection of my favorites and am always available to work on commission if you find yourself loving something that is no longer available. It happens all the time!
