CityViewNC.com | 19 "In 2007, I became increasingly fascinated with working in metal as a new medium when I began taking a jewelry fabrication class with Erica Stankwytch Bailey. I know this seems totally unrelated to my painting career, but I have always loved lampshades, and over the years have painted them for my clients. However, it was the actual metal frame of the shades that drew my fascination, and through this jewelry class began using what I'd learned to make night lights at first, and then began decorating lampshade frames with metal. I like to use recycled frames when possible and am currently working on using old bobbins from textile mills as bases for my shades." Pandy also has completed examples of trompe-l'oeil (French for "deceive the eye"), which uses realistic imagery to create an optical illusion of 3-dimensional objects. Her niches— for example, a pitcher spilling fabric painting above a doorway or a 3-D fireplace painted on a flat wall—trick the viewer's perception. Additionally, her decorative painting skill is obvious in murals such as one depicting dogs and cats in a local veterinarian clinic or the antique bicycle made from NYC subway maps that hangs on a wall of Byklyn, a spinning gym managed by one of her daughters in Brooklyn, New York. "e thing I love most about what I do is the opportunity to do so many things: basic faux finishes, aged finishes, textured finishes, marble columns or fireplace surrounds, faux tile work, murals, painted furniture, ceilings and floors. If it can be painted, I'll give it a shot!"
