Cultured: Meet Pam Glick

Sarah Cascone, Cultured Magazine, November 11, 2026

Meet Pam Glick, the 70-Year-Old Who Paints on a Homemade Skateboard. The artist has a new exhibition of inventive abstractions at Nicola Vassell Gallery. Getting there was a winding road.

For Pam Glick, returning to New York was a personal odyssey. The artist, who just opened her first show with Nicola Vassell Gallery in Chelsea, lived in the city as a young painter from 1980 and 1995. Then she left, shortly after having the first of her two sons. It was meant to be temporary. Instead, it took her nearly 30 years to return. 

 

“We didn’t [mean to] move to Vermont—I thought we were going to go back and forth because my husband’s family lived there,” Glick tells CULTURED. “It turned out to be a much longer, Odysseus situation!”
