Welcome, Pam Hoss, aka Pamela L. Hoss, who often uses herself as a vehicle of expression. According to her, "Some of my portraits are intimate investigations, while others, using full body postures, are theatrical large-scale narratives. Both elucidate my life as a woman in the roles I have played as a daughter, mother, artist, teacher, and wife."
Self-portraiture has allowed Pam Hoss to uncover what could not easily be perceived. Documenting the past with the present, she looks at herself through the lens of time, with a conscious awareness of age, gender, and loss.
Pam Hoss studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and graduated in 1984. Pam moved to New Bedford in 2005 to obtain affordable studio space. She and Scott Currier were married at the Seamen's Bethel in 2008 and bought a historic home in 2011. Pam taught figure drawing at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth for thirty years, influencing close to 1900 students. She retired in 2018.
Since 1984 Pam Hoss has maintained studios in large warehouse spaces and 2021 moved her studio into the first floor of her New Bedford home where she continues to paint portraits and flowers from the gardens we grow.
