Back to the Island

Pamela enjoys the bold use of color and painterly brush strokes to create her abstract landscapes. She paints in acrylics, layering mark-making within her work using oil sticks, pastels, charcoal, and graphite.

She grew up in a small town in the Midwest, where she spent time near the water, read stacks of library books, drew in her sketchbook, and dreamed of being a traveling photojournalist. Pam earned an MBA from the University of South Carolina and a BS from Utah State University and later returned to school to complete an AA in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. She was a project manager and account executive before transitioning into illustration and graphic design. After studying with various professional career artists, she discovered her true passion is painting.

She is represented by various galleries and shops in the Southeast, sells her work online, and participates in group and solo shows. She also teaches painting workshops and hosts art retreats. She works from her home studio in Charleston, South Carolina.
