BEVERLY-QUIGLEY, PAMELA

Biography
Pamela Beverly-Quigley is an interdisciplinary artist and creative director whose practice spans photography and mixed media. She holds an MFA from the University of Colorado Boulder and began exhibiting with the international Artnauts Collective in 1996. Through the Artnauts, she was introduced to Joseph Beuys’ concept of social sculpture—an idea that continues to shape her belief in art as a catalyst for human connection, dialogue, and shared experience. Her photographic work ranges from intimate portraiture to documentary projects, using the camera as a tool for listening as much as seeing. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and featured in publications including Lucy Lippard’s The Lure of the Local. She has taught at the University of Colorado Boulder and Weber State University and lectured for organizations including AIGA, the Institute of American Indian Arts, and International Burch University in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her curatorial and collaborative practice has taken her to Colombia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Rwanda, and Mexico. Her ongoing social sculpture, A Thousand Knots, invitesparticipants across these communities to physically transform a shared cord by untying knots that represent burdens and tying new knots as gestures of hope, connection, and what we choose to carry forward. The project has traveled internationally and has grown toward its goal of 1,000 knots. The project will continue to grow beyond 1000 knots as she travels the cord to future exhibition locations.

In 2025, Beverly-Quigley served as lead curator for Shelter, installed within ARK D-O, known as Tito’s Bunker, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, bringing together international and local artists in a site shaped by history, memory, and transformation.
