Born in the state of Washington and surrounded by Pacific Rim art has instilled within me a love of the sacred connection between animals and humans.
I began drawing animals when I was 5 and was lucky enough to have my first horse, an Arabian Tennessee Walker, at age 16. The special bond between horse and rider fascinated me and sparked my curiosity into seeking the attitude of all the animals I paint.
Earning a Zoology degree at Washington State University was a natural fit, providing a perfect foundation for understanding animal anatomy. I have always sought out the company of local artists and those friendships honed my skills in watercolor and painting composition. In 1998 I made the decision to become a full time artist, committing 8 hours or more a day in a studio setting. These studio hours have given me the opportunity to explore beyond my favorite medium and incorporate techniques which uniquely enhance the personalities of the animals.
Although I have displayed in many galleries and museums throughout the West, I prefer to show my work personally and get to know my collectors. I believe a personal connection between artist and collector enhances the underlying story behind the painting, providing more depth and insight.
In 2014, I have come full circle and returned to my roots in Washington State.
Pam will be participating in the Quick Draw event and Festival booths at the 2015 Fall Festival Of The Arts.
