Pam Moody was born in Sarasota, FL in 1963 and grew up along the “Treasure Coast” in the town of Ft. Pierce, FL. Her rural upbringing along the Atlantic coast afforded her the opportunity to study, and personally interact with the abundant marine and wildlife prevalent in the area. As a child, she spent countless hours with her family in and on the Indian River and Atlantic Ocean, exploring the many islands, boating, fishing, swimming and playing in the woods surrounding her home. To this day, these experiences remain a major influence in her work.
Pam has been a resident of Tampa since 1981 and currently resides with her family in the Citrus Park area.

Artist Statement
As a native of Florida, my foremost attention as a ceramic artist is focused on the indigenous and invasive species of the state. I am interested in creating these species in a realistic format, as well as presenting them in a non-traditional, humorous, or out of context state. Self-taught in the ceramic arts, I hand-build all of my works from stoneware and earthenware clay bodies using sculpt, slab, and coil techniques and fire in an electric kiln. To complete the process, each piece is hand-glazed using multiple layers of commercial glazes to achieve unique and unpredictable results. Every piece is one of a kind, and is original in thought and design.
