Pamela Wolfe was born in England in 1950 and her family immigrated to New Zealand in 1953. She studied at Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland University from 1968 to 1971, graduating with a Diploma of Fine Arts.
Wolfe has been exhibiting for over forty years and is best known for her larger than life, richly textured paintings of flowers.
The subtle technique in which Wolfe portrays the fragility of these specimens and their transient nature of beauty, has been honed over her long career. Wolfe paints in oils on canvas and enlarges the sumptuous blooms and foliage to fill the canvas – with many of the flower arrangements displayed in a glass jar or vase.
Wolfe has been exhibiting in ARTIS Gallery since 1998 – and with ARTIS Gallery at the Auckland Art Fair since 2007.
