Pamela Lawton’s 2019-20 “Multisensory Drawing In Siena” project awarded her a U.S. Fulbright Scholar grant at the Siena Art Institute in Italy. Propelling her work into tactile realms, she enhanced her own artmaking approach through the perspective her low and no-vision students afforded her from teaching at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and elsewhere. She has exhibited in solo shows at the Galeria Nacional, Costa Rica, Galeria Isabel Ignacio, Spain, and, in New York, at White Box Gallery, The Conde Nast Building and 180 Maiden Lane. Group exhibits include the Metropolitan Museum Mezzanine print shop, Pierogi, and Tibor De Nagy galleries. Lawton was an artist-in-residence at the World Trade Center through the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and is currently at Chashama.
