Time, Light, and Layers of Paint: Breakthrough—Abstract Collection of Oil and Cold Wax

This book presents a selected collection of Pamela K. Beer’s abstract paintings in oil and cold wax, created between 2021 and 2025. Known for her luminous layering and textured surfaces, Beer works with brayers, squeegees, and solvent washes to press, scrape, and reveal color across wood panels. Each painting is built in strata, where what is hidden remains part of the story, and what is revealed carries traces of memory, presence, and light.While rooted in abstraction, the paintings invite recognition — the passage of time, the weight of loss, the shimmer of renewal, the force of light breaking through darkness. At times ethereal, at times grounded, these works balance tension and release, gesture and stillness.Each page is accompanied by the artist’s reflections, offering insight into the process, the struggles, and the quiet invitations found within the work. Interwoven throughout are scripture, quotes, and music suggestions, gathered into reflection break pages to deepen the meditative quality of the book.Time, Light, and Layers of Paint is both an art book and a contemplative journey. It speaks to artists, collectors, and seekers alike — anyone drawn to abstract expression, to oil and cold wax painting, or to art as a spiritual and emotional practice.At once luminous and layered, this collection is an invitation to slow down, notice, and enter into a conversation between art and soul.
