Watercolor Paintings Biography
(Source google.com)
I grew up in France but have been living in Canada for the last 12 years, I am located in North Vancouver and am working from a studio one block west of Capilano mall. Watermedia ( Watercolor and acrylic) is my medium of choice because of the unique way it allows me to render light. I am inspired by the BC landscape, and am currently working on a series of forest, seascapes and cityscapes painted in watermedia (watercolor, acrylic, inks..) Even if my work could be described at somewhat realistic, there is often a touch of the unreal in the form of splashes of paint or added designs that emphasize the subjective quality of perception and are creating a link between the landscape reality and the one imagined by the artist
Since 2002 I am an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and obtained the Associate Membership status in 2010. I am also a signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society and San Diego Watercolor Society since 2010. My paintings have been exhibited in numerous juried exhibitions in Canada and in the United States. I had a feature article in the August 2009 issue of Watercolor Artist magazine, and have been published in a few books including the Splash series,( North Light Books' hard bound showcase of the best in contemporary watercolors) Splash 11 New directions: the Best of Watercolor, Splash 12 Celebrating Artistic vision , and Splash 13, Alternative Approaches and the book, Best of Watermedia Worldwide (Kennedy publishing). I will also be part of Splash 15, still in edit and the North Light Books mixed media book "Incite, dreams realized" the best of mixed media and Incite 2 still in edit.
Pomm was born in Los Angeles but was raised by her French mother and grandmother and had a truly bi-cultural upbringing. Her mother, who was born in Paris, read a novel by French authoress Colette in which one of the characters was a little girl named Pomme. She loved the name, which means "apple", and took the "e" off to ensure correct pronunciation. While at college, Pomm moved to France and studied art in Aix-en-Provence. In Europe, Pomm fell in love with the Old World architecture, particularly in the southern regions of France where the sun and flowers inspired her to return again and again. When she returned to America, Pomm made a firm decision to be an artist and attended watercolor classes with Scott Moore in Laguna Beach. She found that she loved the medium. Pomm created and perfected a unique style using only translucent watercolors applied in many layers that allowed her to paint the strong colors, light, and shadows that create the feel of Europe in her paintings. Within each work is Pomm's artist "hidden apple", the artist's signature of authenticity and assurance of her high standards and exceptional quality of art. From late 2003 to present time , Pomm has created a series of oils, to explore the spirit and motion of other artists in the creation of their art. In recent years, Pomm took the opportunity to travel the world with her husband (a pilot). "In each country we visited, I wanted to experience as much of the native culture as I could. Seeking out the artists from these different cultures, it was wonderful to experience how they expressed their lives through art." Pomm's oils capture the energy life's creative moments. Her work depicts people creating art -- whether a formal art form, such as music, or creating art by living --life as an art form. "The shape and form of the dancers, the motion and passion of the musicians, the quiet intensity of the sculptors as they chiseled elephants out of wood , even the warm friendly conversation between companions inspired me to want to capture that energy. The energy mirrored on their faces andthe energy in their form, at the moments of their creativity, is what I found most captivating. In particular was the sense ofmotion. Seeing other creating inspired me further."
In recent years, Pomm has turned part of her artist time and painting to helping others. After the Sept 11, 2001 tragedy, Pomm created "Unspoken Courage", a painting which celebrates the unselfish heroism of all those who helped. Most recently, Pomm became part of Artists for Human Rights International, a group formed with the purpose of bringing artists together with the common cause of raised awareness and education of human rights. As the Director of the Visual Artists for Human Rights,Pomm helped to organize three exhibits in New York and LosAngeles, while building membership and support for the group.
One of Pomm's latest works, "We Believe in Peace, " was created with the intention of advancing the cause of world peace. Pomm has been invited to participate in the Florence Biennale for 2007. Held in Florence, Italy , it is the Largest international exhibition of artists in the world. Pomm's later watercolor and oil paintings are showcased at her home studio in Glendale, CA. Pomm's Studio is located at 1051 West Mountain Street, Glendale, CA 91202. Here you will find her recent watercolors, and original oils, as well as her famous collection.
