Pamela is a storyteller who works in various media. She has a passion for the Australian bush, social justice and a love of history which is clearly evident in her work.

Pamela’s work involves a lot of walking in the bush absorbing information. It’s instinctual and her mark-making is often raw and immediate.  Much of her work is made by layering, rubbing back and adding again. Using a variety of surfaces, she works in various media including mixed media, acrylic, oil and enamel paint, oil stick, ink, graphite, collage and printmaking.

She has exhibited her work since 2014, with eight solo shows inclusive of her first solo exhibition ‘Big Island Little Island’ held at Blenheim Gallery in early 2022.

Horsley has also had works selected for the Glover Prize in 2019, the Mission to Seafarers' Maritime Art Prize in 2018, and the Bay of Fires Art Prize in 2016 and 2017.

She was an invited artist in Executed in Franklin Street in Melbourne, and has also exhibited in Canberra, and Sydney as a finalist in the Art Gallery of NSW Sulman Prize.
