Cayo-based artist Pamela Braun has been painting for 22 years, but
she disappeared from the art scene for about 9 of those. But now, she’s
back with a new exhibit featuring paintings dating back as far back as 1995
right up to 2007. For this Texan who has made Belize her home for the past two
decades, the grand, ineffable theme of nature continues to guide her brushstrokes.
Pamela Braun, Artist
“The art show is about two years worth of work and I haven’t had a show, nobody has seen me for about nine years so when I encourage everybody
to come out and celebrate the paintings.”

“You’ve been painting for a number of years, are you seeing a development
in your work so far?”

“Well the more you know the better you do and it doesn’t take
you as long to reach a point when you paint like this so I think there is more
truth, the more you look and the more you study the more truth comes out. They
are mostly Belize. What’s on the table, the still life are what you’re
having, you eat, of course the flowers and the fauna because Belize has a lot
of beautiful and lush environments.”
The exhibit is open at the Bliss Institute for creative arts. It opened
on July 9th and will continue through to the 30th.
