Pamela Patrick White

Pamela & her husband Bryant, both artists, both musicians, paint scenes and occurrences of 18th Century America, focusing on the French & Indian War, the American Revolutionary War, & Eastern Woodland Native Americans.

Artist Statement: I have always felt a deep sensitivity towards the people, places, and events of 18th Century America. The stories of these events help us reconnect with the past and understand how our country was formed. From the early years of the French and Indian War to the end of the American Revolutionary War, individuals wrote in their diaries and shared letters with information that would later provide details and emotions for historic painters such as myself to paint from. These written descriptions have led me to become involved with living history as a reenactor. To be able to immerse myself in historic events has allowed me to feel some of what my subjects experienced. To eat the same foods, use the same utensils, to wear similar clothing and sleep in the same environment at the original sites has created a familiarity that no amount of reading could give me. The air becomes salty when cannons are shot, one gets used to a sweaty wool uniform, sleeping in a tent becomes second nature, the camaraderie of an evening campfire, all are experiences that have become lost in our society today, along with so much of our past, which is why I finally decided to paint history. Painting military and Colonial history, Native Woodland Indians, and American culture allows me to show a well-rounded view of the 18th Century in the original 13 states.
