pamela knoll

Pamela Knoll is a figurative artist and teacher who works primarily from life. She sees her work as a representation of the exchange between the model and herself. “Working from the model is like a form of intense, careful listening, except it’s visual. And the drawing or painting that results is a report of what I see and feel during that exchange.” She has a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and began seriously studying drawing and oil painting in 2011 in Los Angeles, first with Richard Morris, later with Sean Cheetham, and more recently with Hollis Dunlap.  Pamela continues to hone her drawing and painting skills to better serve her art and finds teaching life drawing phenomenally liberating.
