For a bit less than a decade, Pamela Diaz Martinez designed for Esquivel, a luxury shoe brand based in California, with a roster of celebrity clients. Designs were featured in major fashion magazines, newspapers and blogs, such as: Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, LA Times and others.
After her last major commercial project in 2015, Pamela left the fashion industry and returned to her love: drawing and painting.
Over the years Pamela’s work has been shown nationally and internationally in galleries, pop up and alternative project spaces, universities, residencies and museums. Pamela's experimental work was featured alongside Odd Nerdrum and other reputable figurative artists in an exhibition representing Southern California Figurative Art. She has garnered awards and corporate sponsorship as well.
In the Fall of 2023 Pamela will be opening her own gallery titled: D U N A M I S art space. It has been a dream of hers to have an art space that is dedicated to spiritual contemplation.
