Cavu Cellars Welcomes Artists Pam Sharp and Leo Bowman

CAVU Cellars Welcomes Artists 
Pam Sharp and Leo Bowman!

Pam Sharp, a professional painter for more than 20 years, lives and works in Kennewick, Washington. We are amazed by her beautiful paintings and are so excited to have her show again in our gallery. Pam is joined by Leo Bowman, new to CAVU, but as impressed as we are with his work—we definitely want him to be a regular here.

Pam captures the unique attitude of each animal she paints. She uses layers of thin washes to achieve depth and a palette knife to provide texture to each piece. All work is done on 140lb Italian watercolor paper, making each stroke a permanent commitment to the piece. Most pieces take a month to complete. The soul of each animal she paints is captured in the posture and the eye. Patrons are first drawn in by the use of vibrant colors, and then by the emotion of each piece she creates. You can view more of Pam’s art on her web page:  www.prairieskullpture.com

Leo started wood working in High School with a hiatus of many years due to career and family needs. He restarted his wood working several times over the years, building a shop in 2005 in preparation for retirement. Although he has made furniture and cabinets, his interest swiftly turned to finding the natural beauty hidden inside of trees. Searching for the beauty that nature has hidden and finding a way to expose this beauty has become his passion.
