Vitae
 
 Pamela
Griffith has had a long career as an artist. She comes from a line of artists.
Pamela trained as an art teacher and taught in secondary schools, colleges of
advanced education, technical colleges, art societies and privately throughout
her career. As a painter she works across many mediums including drawing,
watercolour, gouache, oil and acrylic works on canvas.
From 1978 she operated the Griffith Studio and Graphic Workshop and many
Australian artists made prints under her direction as master printer. She has
published over 400 editions of her own etchings and lithographs, and produced
over 300 editions for other artists. She works from two specially designed
studios at her residence in southern Sydney. Her print studio comprises a
chemical preparation room and technical equipment including presses. Her
painting studio is designed for perfect light which is important to a painter
who often paints plein air.

Project Examples: Family law Court, Parramatta. In 1990, commissioned to produce
12 watercolour images to be hung in the public spaces of the new building. The
works were required to be colourful, cheerful, non-controversial in subject
matter, or to display or imply any anger or aggression. They were required to
have a calming effect. I produced 12 scenes of colonial Parramatta and environs,
depicting everyday life in those times.
Over many years I have produced images in paint and print of the Great Barrier
Reef. Particular emphasis has been placed on the wildlife of Northern Queenland
and the implied threat of climate change and pollution to the underwater life of
the region. Reef images were used on banners and street signs produced by Perc
Tucker Regional Gallery, Townsville, to advertise their “Reef” exhibition in
2016.
Memorare of the Snow. In 2007 I was commissioned to provide a history painting
for St Gregory’s College, Campbelltown. It was to be an inspiration to the boys
in its content and provide an art statement to reinforce the importance of
culture in their lives. The theme related to the founder of the Marist Brothers,
Marcellin Champagnat. The 140 cm x 190 cm work, anoil on linen painting, now
hangs in the school’s Assembly Hall. The headmaster also commissioned the
production of a limited edition etching that raised money for the school. I also
designed the school’s ceremonial banners.
Four history paintings are now part of the collection of the Perc Tucker
Regional Gallery, Townsville. They relate to the first positive contact between
the original inhabitants of the area and European settlers. James Morrill, a
young Englishman, survived a shipwreck on the reef in 1842, reached the shore,
and was taken in and sheltered by the local aboriginal people. He lived among
them for the next seventeen years, finally re-joining the European community. It
is a story of the meeting of two cultures, and the works provide a narrative in
the course of reconciliation.
Feather Map Project. In 2016 I was approached by the University of New South
Wales (UNSW) to prepare imagery that would help them to spread the message of
the Feather Map project which they were undertaking in conjunction with the
Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). They required an
informative poster, depicting a number of threatened bird species. The images
needed to be sufficiently accurate to enable identification and the work was
translated into a very effective poster that has been widely distributed.
Wetland Project. My work over the past couple of years has had an emphasis on
wetland preservation. I have depicted in oils and acrylics, the birds and
animals that depend on healthy wetlands for survival. Over 50 images were
exhibited in a very well received one-woman show called “Teeming with Life, The
Wongaloo Project” at the Perc Tucker Gallery Townsville. Bungendore Woodworks
Gallery showed this work in an exhibition called “Teeming with Life, care of
wetlands”. Many of these images are now exhibited in the Blacktown Hospital as
part of the combined hospital art program.
Other works:
- Design of the Bicentennial toile and
Macquarie toile in 2008. Royalties emanating from the printing and sale of
these fabrics were directed to the Historical Society.
- Design of the Mary MacKillop toile,
produced for the Sisters of St Joseph to raise funds to assist in the
beatification of Sister Mary MacKillop.
- Design of tissue boxes for Kimberly
Clark. The novel pedestal incorporated in the designs was a world first and
are still employed across the Kimberly Clark range.
- Design of the Waratah(s) depicted on
the NSW driver’s licence. (a cooperative project between the Roads and
Traffic Authority and Olivetti, employing hologram technology for the first
time in the world for such an application).
- Design of the sculptural embroidery
“Resonances of Inspiration” for Penrith City Council, featured in the Joan
Sutherland Performing Arts Centre.
- Design of an Australian Design Award
winning letterbox for Morris Productions.
- Commission from Department of Prime
Minister and Cabinet to provide one of three limited edition prints for a
package presented to the 21 Heads of State attending the 2007 APEC meeting
in Sydney.
- Mural at PLC, Concord, in
collaboration with students.
- Portraits of prominent Australians
for many private and public collections.
Proficiency and professional skills.
I am a recognized teacher and public speaker. I work in a number of mediums and
teach these skills to many levels. Some of these skills include printmaking in
the areas of lithography, etching, and relief block technique; Oil painting and
acrylic painting in landscape, portrait and still life; and watercolour and
graphic techniques. As a citizen scientist, I work with others to draw attention
to environmental issues and have illustrated many books and articles and
posters. I have executed many major design projects that have been successful. I
have the necessary skills and some complementary ones to do most commissions
that come my way.
Hobbies and interests: Apart from art, my interests include reading, gardening,
bushwalking, travelling to learn about the world and art, camping, environment
issues, and history research. I have a particular interest in lighthouses and
marine art.

Artist Statement
 Whilst I have always been a versatile artist producing portraits, still life
paintings and landscapes in various mediums that include oil, water colour and
etchings I have always been very preoccupied with travel and landscape.
When
researching my book " Australia, an artist's journey through the landscape" I
became aware of how few iconic images Australians have to celebrate our nation
as we have only been in this place a short time.
I live near the Royal National
Park which is the second oldest National park in the world, so I have generated
some landscapes from this area to add to my impressions of Australia.
Since
colonial times Sydney-siders have toured the park and it was a favourite spot to
take a "car for a spin" in the early days of the automobile.
The old boat-shed
at Audley Weir is where so many Australians met and had picnics so I felt
obliged to paint it in a representational manner befitting its history. I shall
always be looking at ways of expressing my love for Australia.
I like to take a
broad sweep in my paintings then examine the subject thoroughly in drawing and
etchings.
