About Pamela Reading Riddoch

I am a Hampshire born, Scottish-educated Londoner, who lives in Sheffield. I graduated in fine arts from St Martins School of School of Art, London.

I have taught art in secondary schools, adult education and polytechnics and have spent time as a graphic designer and visualiser for an advertising agency.

I was a prize winner in the Sheffield University 2005 Centenary Competition organised by Sheffield University Fine Art Society and was awarded first prize in the abstract section of the 2005 Art in the Gardens Exhibition.

I am a regular exhibitor in both Sheffield and London. I have also exhibited and sold paintings at the Great Sheffield Art Show over a number of years and have works overseas in private collections including North America, France and Italy.  I am happy to undertake commissions, particularly in portraiture. If you are interest in commissioning a painting, please Contact Me.

In April and May 2015 I held my first retrospective show, From This….To This, at The Circle in Sheffield. I was happy with the sales and very happy with the comments in visitors’ book.

I exhibited in Tuscany in a mixed show in the summer of 2017 with work inspired by my trips to Italy.

Personal Influences

Initially, my paintings were post impressionist/fauvist inspired – also the Japanese art of Hokusai and Utamara.  However, my work has progressed increasingly towards abstract images of landscapes and architecture.

The reflections of light upon water at different times of the day also continue to be a source of stimulation.  I am motivated by colour and shape, the latter being broken down into further shapes without losing the original concept – basically I am obsessed with design.

I work in oils, pastels, acrylic and gouache, often mixing two or more mediums.
