Pam Singh
About The Artist:
I am an Indian-American mixed media Artist, Designer and Muralist originally from India now based in Charlotte, North Carolina. As a child I grew up seeing and being inspired by my uncle who is a commercial artist and felt drawn to art and creating beautiful things at an early age of 5. I holds a Degree in Fashion Design Management and am self-taught mixed media artist and muralist. I also represent SouthEnd ARTS an art non-profit in Charlotte, NC as their Vice President, which helps me share my passion for art, design, community building and art history. I strive to inspire a community of creatives, providing education and support to emerging, underinvested, as well as professional artists.
My studio is located in the art district of NoDa at Charlotte Art League and love sharing my work with a community of thousands of art loving souls from around the globe through various galleries, art exhibits, art festivals and my online web gallery.
About My Art:
In my artwork, I love to explore themes of freedom, self-fulfillment & authenticity. My highest goal is to convey the vivacity within us and to bring color, light, warmth and liveliness to the world and inspire others to celebrate themselves. I aim to empower and offer a vision for you to see yourself in the feminine subjects I paint. The style of my painting, my techniques and use of colors are skillfully experimented by me time and again.

Michelle Cherqui Levi
About The Artist:
As a Miami native, Michelle’s work is inspired by sunshine and saturated color. Growing up in a French family where travel to France was a summer ritual, Michelle’s curiosity for art and culture began early. She received both a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Art Education from Florida International University. Inspiring creativity with students in underserved communities, including young adults with intellectual disabilities has enabled Michelle to share her passion for art and art history. Now living in Charlotte, NC, Michelle’s paintings and mixed-media works have been exhibited locally in both solo and group shows.
About art:
My Paintings are celebrations of the natural world. The intimate renderings of botanical imagery highlight the familiar surroundings found in North Carolina and South Florida. These natural narratives combine observation, memory and improvisation. Connecting with nature renews us. In these bold and brightly colored images, I seek to elicit a sense of wonder and to see things fresh.

Did You Know?
The statistics of the past few decades confirm that the art world is not one of gender parity. Works by female artists comprise a small share of major permanent collections in the U.S. and Europe, while at auction, women’s artworks sell for a significant discount compared with men’s. Only two works by women have ever broken into the top 100 auction sales for paintings, despite women being the subject matter for art for approximately half of the top 25 works displayed around the world.
IT'S TIME WE CHANGE THAT WITH YOUR SUPPORT !
