Pamela Braun is a ‘guerilla girl’ of the arts. She takes no prisoners and leaves no witnesses. Always on a mission, she scans the Belizean landscape from Sandhill to Caye Caulker, to Sarteneja. She can be found consuming the countryside, with a naked canvas and a painful paintbrush. Her ‘life in a can’ series speaks of our consumeristic behaviors and the challenge to balance both our lives and checkbooks. Don’t be fooled by her flowing flowers or flavored fruits, her paintings are more than just pretty. They are a commentary on life’s simplicity, but with the harsh reality of trying to please every evolving appetite that emerges from the memories of men.
What is most interesting about Braun’s works are not the results but the process. Where they are created…in the juxtaposed jungles, under sun-ripened skies, mosquito mania, ridiculous rains and raw human hunger.
