Pamela Woolford is an interdisciplinary artist and keynote speaker, intertwining her work as a writer, filmmaker, performer, and immersive-media director to create new forms of narrative work about Black women and girls and others whose joy, imagination, and inner life are under-explored in American media and popular art. She is the recipient of six Maryland State Arts Council Awards, five film-festival awards internationally, a Changemaker Challenge Award from United Way of Central Maryland and Horizon Foundation, and a Baker Artist Award in interdisciplinary arts.\
Peter is an exceptionally rare kind of artist—a true polymath—whose work seamlessly blends music, visual art, cultural heritage, history, and cutting-edge digital media. Building on the legacy of his grandfather, the legendary entertainer Cab Calloway, and great-grandfather Andrew Reid, a prominent Baltimore activist in the post–Civil War era, Peter brings forward a tradition of social justice, community engagement, and creative innovation.
Mandala Art - the coloring process!
As an artist, my primary body of work is done in mandala style, using the circular form as a way to create a microcosm of vibrant color and intricate detail.
This video shows me working in my usual medium, which is pen on watercolor paper. I use Microns and Faber Castell pens. Due to the precision of my work, it takes a long time to color in large areas. Hence, time elapse is a good way to show how I do things!
