Pam Carter DA was born in Tanzania, East Africa. Her Scottish father and Austrian mother came to Glasgow when she was aged thirteen. Pam gained a degree at Glasgow School of Art and has lectured for many years in Schools and Colleges including Falkirk College. She exhibited throughout this time and in 2003 she became a full time painter. "My main inspiration is in Scottish land and seascape. I enjoy using colour to define contours, structure and changing light sequences."

This print captures the smooth texture of the windswept sand. The time of day is unclear, the early morning or late evening darkness give the sea rocks an inky black quality. There are footsteps leading to the sea, inserting a human presence into the work.

NHS Fife recognises the importance that art plays in creating an environment conducive to good health and well being. Our collection of artwork is intended to be enjoyed by patients, their visitors and staff alike.
