Surf Art 33

This site is dedicated to the artwork of Pamela Neswald. The current series, The Truth About Women's Surfing explores various ideas associated with women's surfing. These include a lot of metaphorical ideas involving personal goals, freedoms, frustrations, stereotypes, fears, fantasies and heroines (or, as Gary Lynch likes to say, sheros). As with a lot of art, what you get from it has much to do with what you bring. Some of the paintings will have extra meaning to actual surfer girls, but they're for everybody. They do seem to get a more positive response from women, especially the paintings dipicting fat or less desirable women. Quelle surprise!
