Cruces Design by Pamela Nelson. Hand Embroidered on dark green

About Pamela Nelson   Pamela Nelson said her life’s course was set watching her grandmother’s hands making handwork.  She has found concepts often come full circle through the daily-ness of making art.  She longs to see things in new ways, for order, always with her, is the pattern of the soul.  Pamela said she is an artist-citizen of the City of Dallas. Closely identifying with urban life, she has contributed to public art locally at DFW Airport, 5 Dart light rail stations, Northpark Center, First United Methodist Church of Richardson, and several local hospitals. Her outreach has been working with Honduras Threads, the Stewpot Open Art Program, and Incarnation House. Pamela has work in the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, El Paso Museum of Art, George W. Bush Presidential Library and several American embassies abroad. She served on the U. S. Commission of Fine Arts in Washington D.C. from 2001-2011.
