Art in Conversation with Farrin with Guest Pamela Hinson

Pamela creates art that speaks to cultural diversity, gender and social issues. The ideas for the artwork she creates originates from her experiences in her cultural community and the different cultural communities that she encounters on this journey.  She uses bronze, marble, alabaster, clay, and wood to initiate conversations about social and personal issues.  She finds peace when using ancient techniques like the lost wax method and hand chiseling to create artwork.
Over the years her artwork has gone through a transformation.  She has found herself exploring the creation of art using discarded and forgotten materials such as sawdust. Pamela holds a Bachelors’ Degree in Studio Art from the University of Nebraska-Omaha, a Masters’ Degree in Organizational Leadership from College of Saint Mary, and a Masters’ in Teaching from College of Saint Mary. She is an 8th grade Language Arts and Honors Language Arts teacher at an inner city middle school in Omaha, Nebraska.
