Master Painter, Pomm
Pomm: Biography of a Master Painter
Capturing the motion and energy behind life's creative moments—that's what
Los Angeles master painter Pomm strives to do every time she sits at her easel. An exhibiting artist
for the past 30 years, Pomm was born in Los Angeles to a Paris-born mother
who named her daughter Pomme—which means "apple" in French—after
a young character in a novel written by French author Colette. Pomm's
mother dropped the "e" in order to ensure the correct pronunciation,
and to honor her daughter with the uniquely elegant moniker.
Pomm's watercolor painting "Unspoken Courage" brought her
national acclaim after September 11, 2001. This painting is displayed
on the New York Fire Department's memorial wall in New York City as
well as in 35 different N.Y. firehouses. Most recently, Pomm became part
of Artists for Human Rights International, a group formed to unite artists
under the common cause of raising awareness and educating the public about
human rights issues.
More on the Los Angeles Master Painter
Pomm moved to France to attend college and study art in Aix-en-Provence,
where she fell in love with the Old World architecture. Her passion for
this art is indelibly and beautifully incorporated into her signature
watercolor compositions.
After college, Pomm returned to California and studied with the internationally
renowned artist Scoot Moore in Laguna Beach. During this time, she created
and perfected a unique style using translucent watercolors applied in
many layers, allowing her to create the powerful colors, light, and shadows
that capture the feel of Europe in her work. Embedded within each of Pomm's
paintings is her signature "hidden apple," which marks the authenticity
and exceptional quality of all her creations.
Not unlike her predecessors, Realism masters Monet and Renoir, who revolted
against traditional academia by painting what they saw from within, Pomm
made a similar and compelling transition in her work by painting what
she "viewed from the outside and felt within" to express herself
"from the inside out." This engaging transition can be felt
and understood in Pomm's expressive and moving oil paintings. Although
there are artists who can cross over different mediums and styles, few
make the transition successfully. Pomm, however, has not only achieved
it, but brilliantly excels at it. The Expressionist style presented in
her oil work transcends the viewer into an emotionally heightened "outer
world."
