"Approaching Light" - Margaret "Peggy" Reventlow
Longtime resident of Litchfield and Vero Beach, Florida, the late Peggy Reventlow was born in London, England in 1915. Peggy led a very rich life and it was not until she was in her early 40s that she happened to pick up some Plasiticine modeling clay that had been given to her young son. On a whim, she started to sculpt a bust of her husband, who was then sick in bed. This chance encounter with Sculpting offered the socialite and heiress a new direction for her life, one that also included painting. She on to study at the Art Students League in New York, and her art has been exhibited in New York Palm Beach, London, Connecticut and Nantucket, including exhibitions at The Alwyn Gallery in London and at Tiffany and Co. in New York.

"Heuchera Leaf" by Pamela Stockamore. Monoprint Oil & Silver Leaf on Zinc Plate.
D. DelGaizo of the Metropolitan Museum of Art wrote, "The exhilaration that one experiences upon first viewing a painting by Pamela Stockamore is not unlike the reaction one might have to the discovery of a natural phenomenon. In that moment, we are seduced into believing that we are observing a work created by nature rather than by the human hand. And in the instant that we apprehend the image, we are able to hold two opposing and contradictory notions in our mind. That we are looking at work made recently in a studio by an artist, and also believing that only exposure to the elements for a millennium could have produced such a miraculous object."
Pam has had many international exhibitions. Her work is found in corporate and private collections in Switzerland, France, UK, Japan, and U.S. This is a unique opportunity to bid and own a piece of this gifted contemporary artist's work!
