Dear Life, Here are two walls of the studio. Work is happening on a daily basis: collage, painting, drawing, experimenting with transfers of prints to canvas. And a corner near the big window is a growing Vision Board. I am grateful to have this studio in the Santa Fe Community College art department. I enjoy the students and staff, our visits and classes. Inspirational.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Studio 11.19.2025
Dear Life, I was a student at the School of Visual Arts, NYC in 1983. I studied painting and Lucio was an inspirational teacher offering guidance that continues to resonate throughout my creative work. I made the journey to Magazzino Italian Art Museum, Cold Spring, NY on the closing day of his exhibit to honor one of the “treasures” in my life and the art world. He turns 90 in November. Thank you Lucio for your spirit, work, and long life.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, I am in the final three weeks of having a studio on the campus of Santa Fe Community College. By May 18th, I have to move everything on campus to home studio. Last Friday, I began the inventory process of all the work I created since January 2024. Very productive time and inspiring to be in the SFCC community. This summer, I will be on the road visiting family and friends. All changes work together to create new experiences of living. Letting go and letting life move me forward.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Watercolor and Ink on Yupo Paper 04.14.2025
Dear Life, I am excited to work with my new Japanese watercolors and brushes. I made a color chart on Yupo paper and in book. Materials inspire me. They help to create new experiences in my art. I recommend getting a creative gift for your heart. Could be something small however charged with big energy. This beautiful set of watercolors is my Valentine gift to “self” charged with love and possibilities.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Life, When you look at your watercolor and all you can think of is “waffles”, eat some with maple syrup. ‘Tis the season!
