B I O
Pamela Shipley is a New Jersey and Florida based artist who works with naturally occurring data from nature to inspire her creative process. She traces her fascination with data to childhood. Collecting habits evolved as data began to reveal deeper dimensions and meaning to her. This passion led to graduate and professional work in arts policy and research, focusing on their cultural and educational impact. A deep-rooted practice of culling, observing, analyzing, and reporting from qualitative sources of data is reflexive of her artistic process. Pamela’s artwork – drawing from nature as the most essential source of observable data – serve as an introduction, inviting others to interpret and engage in their own way.
