Pamela Quigley received her MFA from the University of Colorado at Boulder in Photography & Digital Media. She has worked as a graphic designer and visual artist since the mid-1980's. Her work is conceptual in nature and she moves freely from design to printmaking and photography searching the best solution to address the concept. As a designer she has worked on a wide variety of projects from book design and packaging to identity development for restaurants, retailers, and small businesses.

Her Fine Art background includes artmaking and exhibition curation. Exhibitions ranged from topics such as “Women’s Work” exploring issues of domesticity to larger scale projects such as the development of a multi-university (San Francisco State University, University of Alabama, Weber State University and Northeastern University) project called Sticks & Stones: A Collaborative Exchange Exploring Labeling and Stereotyping in Graphic Design. This exhibit was held at The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute in Birmingham, Alabama. The award winning exhibition catalog includes her published paper: “Counter Propaganda and the Dissenting Visual Voice”

In addition her work has been exhibited throughout the US and abroad in Bejing, China and Mexico City. Her work has also been included in numerous periodicals and reviews including Lucy Lippard’s book, The Lure of the Local.

“As the Creative Director for DCWV Home I am inspired by the designers that I work with and appreciate all of the people that it takes to make our company grow to its highest potential. Everyday I have the privilege of working with our creative team: Kelsie, Travis, Kyle, Zach, Jun, Michelle, Lauren, Angie, Colette, Lenita and Krysta. Nancy, the founder of DCWV is our Queen of Trends and it is her keen eye and experience that is infused into everything we create. There are other team members that are the glue of the operation (you know who you are!) that keep everything on schedule and running smoothly. Our team gives true meaning to words ‘It takes a village to raise a product’”.

In the image above you see stacked materials yet to be redirected into new products. I took this photo while on a product development trip and it represents to me the pure potential that exists in design. It is that potential of creating something from nothing that I find motivates me and gets me out of bed in the morning. Working with talented people is the icing on the cake.
