Pam Poquette (she/her) is an artist based in the Hudson Valley, NY, whose work explores themes of nostalgia through color and pattern. She is particularly interested in the capacity of art to evoke moments of connection through glimmers - micro moments of joy. Synthesizing quotidian experiences and the natural world into a personal visual language, Pam celebrates the abundance of all that makes us human - the hard, scary, and imperfect. Her work ranges from wall-scale paintings to stuffed handheld sculptures, often incorporating patterns and techniques of embroidery through thread and paint, reflecting both her own invented stitching and her family's collective stitch archive.

Pam's work has been supported by residencies at Vermont Studio Center, Walkaway House, and Collar Works, as well as a grant from the Teagle Foundation in recognition of her work as an educator. She received an MFA from the University at Albany, SUNY, and a BFA from The College of Saint Rose. Her work has recently been exhibited at the University Art Museum, Albany, NY; Joyce Goldstein Gallery, Chatham, NY; Collar Works, Troy, NY; Onondaga Community College, Syracuse, NY; and Trestle Gallery, Brooklyn, NY.
