Pamela Wallace Toll graduated with a degree
in English and Art from the University of NC at Chapel Hill. She earned
an MFA in Painting from East Carolina University.
In 1991 Toll co-founded Acme Art Studios, a work place for artists,
which also hosts art events and exhibitions, most recently in conjunction
with the Wilmington Fourth Friday Gallery Crawl.
After a profound painting experience at a painting colony in former
monastery, St. Joakim Osogovoski, Macedonia, Ms Toll resolved to bring
Macedonian artists to NC. In 1998 she and two partners established
the No Boundaries International Art Colony whose mission is to lay
aside national boundaries in favor of cross cultural exchange. Since
then, over 150 artists from Europe, Africa, South America, Australia,
Asia and North America have participated. No Boundaries publishes
a catalogue, sponsors educational outreach, and widely exhibits paintings
made during the project.
In 2007 Ms Toll participated in Paint a Future; in Florianopolis,
Brazil, and Rully, France. Over the past two years she donated a dozen
paintings to the organization. The sale of two paintings provided
new homes for families of the young artists whose hopeful drawings
inspired her paintings.
Toll’s work is represented in various collections including
Casoria Contemporary Art Museum in Naples, Italy, Yildiz Technical
University in Istanbul,Turkey, Art Pointe Gumno and St. Joakim Osgovoski
in Macedonia, Simposio Internacional de Artistas en Noja, Spain, Cameron
Art Museum, and Bald Head Island Corporation in NC.
Images of several of her works were chosen for the cover and inside
art pages of UNCW’s literary Journal, Ecotone in 2005.
A triptych of mixed media drawings entitled Listening was
part of Art and Social Conscience: Holocaust, a response
by contemporary UNCW faculty artists to the Holocaust, at the Cameron
Art Museum in 2008.
In 2008 Ms Toll was invited to participate in Simposio Internacional
de Artistas en Noja, Spain.
In 2009 she was nominated for a United States Artists Fellowship. |
