COCO VIVO in Charleston, SC, Offers
Works by Pamela Bledsoe
COCO
VIVO Interiors & Fine Art for relaxed living in Charleston,
SC, will present the exhibit, Summertime in Charleston,
featuring original paintings by Pamela Bledsoe, on view from June
6 - 30, 2008.
The exhibit focuses on Bledsoe's passion for the special beauty of nature. Nature's rainbow of colors, the sun's light, the flow of energy, and the magic of life are captured in each of Bledsoe's creations. And the artist's beauty, Southern charm, and vivacious personality flow through her florals and landscapes. The gallery space comes alive this summer with excitement and anticipation as Bledsoe unveils her fabulous Summertime in Charleston.
A true love of nature is clearly evident in this Edgefield, SC, native's work. Educated at the University of South Carolina, Bledsoe has had a love affair with the Carolinas and the Lowcountry for many years. She moved to the Charleston area in 1995, and credits the move with renewing her passion for painting. Bledsoe's passion for painting and thirst for knowledge have led her to many wonderful teachers and workshops. However, the disciplined hours spent at her easel have honed her skills and made her the accomplished artist she is today.
The demand for Bledsoe's work has been tremendous with collectors across America and Europe often acquiring multiple pieces. She is an award winning artist who has hosted several successful solo shows. One of her collector's descriptions of her paintings is "I feel like I am looking at music on canvas and it's very happy music."
Possessing a strong belief that one should always give back, Bledsoe contributes original art to such organizations as the American Heart Association, Brookgreen Gardens, and the Ronald McDonald House. In her words, "Every painting I do is a spiritual and emotional process. The greatest compliment I can hear is that someone feels my painting."
