amy pachowicz | Oolong Gallery

Amy Pachowicz (born 1968) was raised in San Diego and is working with themes of nostalgia and nature. She studied archaeology and graduated from UCSD in 1996 with a minor in studio painting following a year at Barnard College, Columbia University, NY. Pachowicz’s practice is informed by an early academic foundation in archaeology, a discipline that continues to shape her exploration of artifacts—whether organic or printed—as vessels of memory and meaning. Her work has been exhibited at Oolong Gallery, juried exhibitions at the Athenaeum in La Jolla, and numerous group shows across San Diego since the late 1990s, including ICE Gallery in 2002.
