It is too soon to announce what is upcoming for me in 2023; however, I have been so busy I haven’t had time to post about 2022.
I ended the year in November as an exhibitor at the Art Fair 14C, founded and curated by Robinson Hollaway, which took place at the Armory in Jersey City. I had a large booth and could display the full range of my Underground series to hundreds of people who passed through the fair over three days. It was my first Art Fair, and it was gratifying to hear so many people’s positive responses to the work and my environmental theme.
In spring 2022, I was part of a fantastic group show created by Eco-Artspace founder Patricia Watts. It took place at the Williamsburg Art and Historical Center in Brooklyn; the exhibition called Fragile Rainbow: Traversing Habitats included more than fifty artists chosen by Curator Sue Spaid. I was extremely pleased to have been included in exhibiting among many artists whose work I admire. Here I am in the middle picture on the left, followed by Sue Spaid(curator and author), Yuko Nii (founder of Yuko Nii Foundation and WAH), and Patricia Watts, founder of Eco-Artspace, author, curator.
WOMEN ON THE EDGE showing online at Taller Boricua, a groundbreaking cultural institution for Latin American Artists of the ’60s that began in East Harlem. Now Taller Boricua creates visibility to many underrepresented artistic groups such as women. I am exhibiting my latest oil painting with a short video presenting my Root paintings in my studio. https://tallerboricua.org/product/pamela-casper/https://tallerboricua.org/product/pamela-casper/
I hope that everyone is staying safe. It looks like we have to remain vigilant to remain healthy. Although we all have to limit our social contacts, the internet has provided many opportunities to see art. I am happy to announce a number of online exhibitions where you can see my artwork. Unfortunately, the show at Iona College closed before it could open due to the COVID-19 outbreak. I will post a link soon to view the show virtually. In the meanwhile, please enjoy the following exhibitions.
I am honored that Eleanor Heartney, Juror for Ecoartspace, has chosen my painting “Root Ball” to be part of the online exhibition and catalog, Ecoconsciousness, for Fall 2020. https://www.ecoartspace.org/ecoconsciousness
USPS art project, a mail-art initiative to support our postal system, where two artists collaborate on a single artwork. Each artist mails the piece to each other to complete. Two of my collaborations with Mary Tooley Parker, a hook rug artist, can be viewed in person at the Ely Center for Contemporary Art in New Haven CT until November 15th. https://elycenter.org/usps-art-project

In May I was very pleased to have participated in the show ‘Sculpture Surround”, at the Cherry Branch Gallery in Cherry Valley New York. I exhibited works from the Ghost Bird wire Sculptures and Abandoned Nests series. These pieces make an environmental commentary using found natural and man made materials.

At the end of June I showed a new painting, “Woodland Messenger”, for the first time translating my exploration of the environment “underground” into oil on canvas; based on previous works in Water color.

I am very proud to announce that my water color “Root Network” will be traveling to the Old Barn at the historic John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove.
