PAMELA BURGESS is a visual artist based in Los Angeles whose practice explores the concept, beauty, and meaning of landscape as seen through a personal lens.
The fragility of life, and the beauty of impermanence are the underlying themes of her work.
Pamela’s installations, drawings, sculpture, and photography reflect a broad professional background in fine art, design, fabrication and materials.
