Meet the Artist/Facilitator
With studios in both California and Texas, Pamela Underwood is a sought after speaker, has a private practice working with clients individually as well as facilitating expressive arts groups and retreats. She offers free expressive arts Labyrinth Walks at the change of every season.
Pamela Underwood has been a professional visual artist for the past 30 years, a group and retreat facilitator since 1994 and an Expressive Arts Therapist since 2003. After earning her BFA in art, Underwood spent three years at the Expressive Arts Institute of San Diego and three summers at the European Graduate School in Saas Fee, Switzerland, earning her master’s in Expressive Arts Therapy with a minor in psychology.
Pamela Underwood is a pioneer in her work with body image. She founded the unconventional, Bodywriting® Retreats for Women in 1994. During this four day expressive arts retreat each participant must embrace her sensing body as her primal creative partner. With the development of a keen sensual awareness and the guidance of Pamela, the participant’s body becomes a printing tool while creating a body print. She then works with the life size image that arrives, assisting its progress through movement, writing, sound and unconventional visual art techniques.
Pamela proposes a paradigm shift based on the idea that as human beings we are all living with images as our helpers and companions every day. In 2003 Underwood developed a 12-week course, Image Quest™: discovering your authentic visual vocabulary based on this innovative theory.
Underwood has led “Artist’s Way Groups; through expressive arts” based on Julia Cameron’s book, The Artist’s Way since 1994.
