About Me: Pamela Montague was born in Southern Delaware in 1969 to a family that embraced the arts, enabling her to discover her love for the arts. Many childhood years where spent traveling the Eastern Seaboard, the hills and mountains of Kentucky and the bayou lands of Louisiana. Throughout her life, a camera was always in her hands. As she grew to love the outdoors and vast scenery of various landscapes, photography seemed to be a natural reaction to her for capturing her visions. Attending the Art Institute of Philadelphia helped channel her desire to create. Ultimately she is reaching new heights within the photographic profession.
Her black and white collections are on exhibit in Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania, as well as her commissioned pieces being in numerous states within the United States. Her signature style is the classic black and white art form of photography, hers reflecting florals, landscapes and hand colored images; known as her Oil and Emulsions. Macro photography is undoubtedly her favorite way of capturing images. It challenges the viewer to literally observe objects so closely that you can discover the hidden form of their make-up. Two images, Sugared Magnolia and Unfolding have been juried into numerous East Coast Exhibits and group shows including the Washington Gallery of Photography in Bethesda, MD and The Robeson Gallery at Penn State University. Pamela was a recipient of a Delaware Division of Arts
Opportunity Grant that enabled her to participate in an invitational travelling exhibit entitled "Treasures of the Land; Delaware Barns and Outbuildings", alongside 13 emerging and professional artists. During the Spring of 2003, a dream came true as she opened her gallery, Lightspun Gallery, located in downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. During the winter of 2004, Montague released a line of custom designed stationery, A Sandy Soiree, to the bridal market. The stationery is very popular for beach weddings and destination weddings. She prides her stationery as being very earth friendly. Using recycled and post recycled paper and natural sparkling sand, the sand being her signature in all designs, she is staying true to her belief of reducing, recycling and reusing in a very natural manner. In the Fall of 2005, Pamela's sepia toned image, Gordons Pond was juried into the Biggs Shot, a juried photography exhibit at The Biggs Museum of American Art, and received an honorable mention award.
My Interests: Her stationery line, A Sandy Soiree.com, a must for all beach weddings, keeps her very busy when she is not on the beach or shooting new images. The stationery is custom designed and hand crafted. Beach brides LOVE it.
