Why Blog?

Pamela DeTuncq

As a visual artist, I express my worldview through the creation of objects. I make art about the things that occupy my thoughts. I can’t sing or dance and don’t have an epic novel inside of me. Instead, I make things. My art practice is driven by a need to create physical objects that embody […]

ABOUT

Through her diverse sculpture, conceptual artist Pamela DeTuncq addresses some of the more compelling zeitgeists of contemporary American culture. After years in the design industry, she now applies her skills to multi-layered sculptural work addressing such disparate themes as teen alienation, gender stereotypes, and the vicissitudes of faith.
She earned her MFA in Visual Arts from the Art Institute of Boston and BA in Graphic Design from the University of Maryland. Her work has been shown nationally, with the Dennos Museum recently adding one of her fiber installations to their permanent collection.
