Pam Vernon | Landscape Artist
I'm a fine art acrylic landscape painter living in Northland NZ.
From Whanganui, NZ, I am of Māori, English and Scottish descent (Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi, Ngāti Maru Taranaki, Clan Ross). These cultures all inform my work.
My work has centered mainly around issues of land and identity, with particular reference to assimilation and the reality of standing between two cultures. I also focus on issues surrounding the destruction of environment via colonization processes, and the effects of the latter on indigenous peoples both in NZ and globally.
Due to a prolonged period of health issues I've only just begun to paint again.
