for all the folks

Original work of art by outsider artist Pam Puck titled "Potion in a Pot" -- for the 2026 Outsider Art Fair in New York City.

Pam Puck Drop: Self-Taught Artwork For Purchase From Around The Globe

After a very successful outing at the 2026 Outsider Art Fair, almost all works have sold. There are just a few left, including these fantastic works on paper by the Italian-based self-taught artist Pam Puck.

PAM PUCK (b. 1990) is a self-taught artist based in Ferrara, Italy. She works as a teacher and spends the rest of her time sculpting and drawing.

Her work combines depictions of monsters, demons, aliens, self-portraits, and imagery from ancient art to create scenes that combat hopelessness with humor. By creating simplified figures, incorporating erotic elements, and using vibrant color palettes, Puck creates a unique symbolic language that’s deceptive in its playfulness.



Hear Pam Puck talk about her beginnings in ceramic making, working through mental health issues, being kind of a “creepy” kid and possibly living in a cave on the “FolkArtwork and Friends” podcast.



See more works from Pam Puck in the FolkArtwork Collective shop. Plus: see below for new works from Canadian self-taught artist Jackie Bradshaw.

After six years of running this account, sharing daily art by great outsider and self-taught artists who are no longer with us, I am thrilled to share this space with current artists to assist in their artistic journey and bring their artwork to the masses and maybe to a home near you.

I am excited to see FolkArtwork evolve and grow. It will continue to share daily outsider artwork by some of the greatest artists ever, pictures from travels across the country, visiting unknown and hidden art environments, and now offering original artwork for sale.
