Local Artist Pam O'Neil Featured at HVCA

HVCA FEATURES LOCAL ARTIST’S WORK IN AUGUST SHOW

Pamela L. O’Neil showcases her 30 years of experience in art and design in A Kaleidoscope of Abstract Realism: Form Texture & Emotion on Canvas, August’s show at Huron Valley Council for the Arts.

An opening reception for the local artist’s (she has a Milford mailing address but pays taxes to Hartland Township) work takes place from 7-9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5.

Besides the show and sale, this free gala event features light refreshments and piano music by Gary Weisenburg.

This exhibit demonstrates her passion for color, form and texture as well as working in larger formats. 

“My pieces are put on canvas from a very deep emotional place,” explained O’Neil. “They are always examples of contrasts from my life experiences. This particular show was completed using drywall compound, acrylic and watercolor.”

In addition to her artistic flair and talent, O’Neil has a strong work ethic and motivation. An interior designer (she’s entitled to put the initials A.S.I.D. after her name), she owns her own design studio, she has decorated Meadowbrook Hall as well as served as a judge for juried art shows. In addition, she does a lot of commission work for her clients and her work is displayed in a number of galleries.

Her most recent challenge is coordinating the new, exciting Fine Arts & Wares Show Howell Melon Festival. She also volunteers her time to teach area seniors how to make various kinds of art/craft mediums.

Gallery hours for the exhibit and sale, which are open to the public through Aug. 27, are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m Wednesdays through Fridays as well as from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.
