Lost and Found

Found 16×24 mixed media acrylics

Finished this piece a few weeks back and it’s in a gallery show right now. The bird was inspired by a picture that a neighbor took, and you could clearly see it had something in its mouth. I have it holding one of the pearl buttons from this woman’s dress and if you look closely you can see the loose threads where it fell from. Hope you are enjoying summer, it’s sure hot in Texas! I will share my oil paintings in a future post. Trying something new and loving it.

Best,

Pam

Starting Over

‘Shades of Gray’ series, acrylics on 9×12 hardboard panel

I’ve been working on paintings for an upcoming Pop Up Art Show where I live. It’s been motivating to commit to doing some events which is pushing me to get in the studio on a regular basis. I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

One thing that still bothers me greatly is that I’ve lost so many of my contacts because of FB and Instagram deleting my pages. I’ve thought long and hard about what to do about it and I still don’t know for sure but I do want to be able to share and see others art so I have created a new Instagram account, @pamcarrikerart. Starting over from scratch is really discouraging at first I have to admit, but I’m going to just put stuff out there and hope to gain back my following. I chose to just do instagram because it’s a better forum for just sharing and seeing art. I hope to see you over there as well as here:-)

Gone

Current WIP

Yesterday I was banned from all of my social media accounts. I have no idea why. I received an email informing me of this with no explanation except that I had been ‘reported’ and because I ‘violated community standards’ I was banned not only from my personal page, but my business page and instagram.

I honestly have no words right now. I keep my personal page limited to just sharing with family and personal friends because I don’t believe in mixing art with politics, religion etc. Everyone has the right to their own beliefs.

I’m devastated by the loss of all of my photos both personal and chronicling my art career and I wasn’t even given a warning so no way to save them or to let anyone know why I’m gone. This is not right. I’ve been wanting to leave Facebook because of the extreme censorship that has been going on for awhile but I stayed because I love to keep up with family and friends and being able to share my love of art with others.

I’m writing this to those who follow me here so some of you at least know what happened. I will be working to find another forum and will update when/if I do. I guess it’s time to just post here for now.

Blessing to you all,
Pam

BIG News!!! Christmas Comes Early!

December 3, 2014 By in art at the speed of life Tags: , , , , 14 Comments

I have some awesome BIG NEWS to share with you! My new book, Mixed Media Portraits with Pam Carriker has had it’s release date moved up and will be in-house at the North Light Shop on January 20th!!! And it’s now on sale there!!! That’s two months earlier than the original release date!!! I’m beyond excited!!! Oh and more good news is that it’s on SALE today at the North Light Shop-HALF OFF the cover price!!!!

The book is a nice fat 160 pages, they upped the page count to include even more instruction and eye candy. It would make a great Christmas present, just saying:-)

And if you’ve already ordered it from Amazon  you’ll be getting it way earlier than the original release date, likely the first part of february rather than late March!!!
