ARTIST BIO
Pam's art journey started as a young girl - her notebooks filled with colored pencil drawings of horses, frogs and the occasional mushroom. She knew she would always be an artist. Pam grew up in Springfield, Illinois and studied fine art at Southern Illinois University. Somewhere in the middle of college, her focus took a turn toward graphic design, where it planted itself for 25 years. Working in downtown Chicago, Pam became an award winning and sought after graphic designer known for her art direction, leadership qualities, and flair for communicating a message.
But her roots were still calling. . . As she's ventured back into the world of fine art, it seems her journey has come full circle. Today, notebooks are filled with color studies, abstract images and notes on new ideas for creating art. Since exhibiting her paintings professionally in 2009, Pam's work has won awards and been exhibited throughout the midwest. She now strives to bridge her graphic design expertise and leadership with her fine art talent and passion for sharing the gift of art.
Pam begins her abstract paintings with only a hint of intention. She embraces the unexpected as the rest is guided by the artwork, itself. A piece is never completed in one session and time is spent watching and listening to where the painting wants to go. Layers of color are built up, wiped off, painted over. Her appreciation for things aging and well worn shows through in the hints of cracking paint and textured surfaces that evolve as she works.
