Pam Glennie’s Gathering Momentum is an evocative seascape alive with energy and abstraction. Swathes of turquoise, indigo and sea green are layered with expressive brushstrokes, conjuring the restless surge of tide and sky. White sails emerge against dark headlands, while seabirds trace movement across the horizon, heightening the sense of motion. Glennie’s handling of colour and texture captures both the rhythm of the natural world and the force of the sea, poised between tranquillity and storm.
Pam was born in Ayrshire on the scenic West Coast of Scotland she graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1986. Encouraged by her artistic parents she started an early career in design, forging a love for colour.
Inspired by the light found on the Scottish Islands, she relocated with her husband to the Isle of Lewis in 2020, to a small coastal village perched on the northern tip of the Outer Hebrides. Here she has been able to focus on painting the vast windswept beaches, coastal machair and fleeting clouds.
Influenced by the strong colourist tradition in Scottish and French Painting, her fresh, modern approach to landscapes is taking the art world by storm. Her influences respect traditional drawing and painting methods, whilst offering something completely new and individual.
‘I love working with Artists’ Soft Pastels, they seem to suit my gestural and intuitive style where I am constantly searching for colour harmony, intensity and expression. I love the feeling of working in what I call… ‘freestyle mode’ … or ‘flow’ as it is known and if I permit myself to ‘play’, that keeps my work feeling fresh and presents a few surprises along the way, hopefully, the result is joyous and uplifting.’ Pam’s vibrant and optimistic Fine Art paintings are now sought after by private collectors throughout the UK and abroad and her unique Textile Design work continues to flourish.
