Pamela Joyce became interested in tapestry whilst studying a double major in fine art in conjunction with her teaching degree. She began working at the ATW in 1980 and has since worked on numerous major projects including the Roger Kemp Suite in the Great Hall at the National Gallery of Victoria, the Arthur Boyd Reception hall tapestry for Parliament House in Canberra and the Jørn Utzon tapestry Homage to Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach for the Sydney Opera House. In 1985 she undertook a year of study in tapestry and textile conservation with Conservator Tina Kane from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Pamela has led many major commissions including Creek Bed by Elizabeth Marks Nakamarra for The Australian Embassy in Paris, Spring Street end by Ben McKeown for the State Library of Victoria and Kunnawaritji to Wajaparni for the Australian Embassy to the Holy See in Rome, which was based on a painting by eight Indigenous artists who took part in a project that re-examined the history of the Canning Stock Route. Pamela is currently leading the interpretation of Kungkarrakalpa (The seven sisters) by Anmanari Brown, which will be shown at the 2012 Melbourne Art Fair.
