Creating art and finding beauty in communities worldwide

About the Beautiful Project


Borne out of her passion for creating art and desire to share that joy with others, artist Pamela Sukhum, launched the Beautiful Project in early 2006 and has since worked to inspire and empower communities world-wide through the vehicle of art. The Beautiful Project has worked closely with communities in 8 countries across the globe and over 20 cities in the United States–using art as a means of bringing people together and as a healing and self-empowering force in their lives.

Please know that every sale of Pamela's artwork helps to support
Beautiful Projects around the world.
