Pamela was born in Washington DC and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Moore College of Art In Philadelphia. The impressionistic qualities of her detailed, delicate paintings reflect the tradition of “The Philadelphia Ten” a group of painters educated in the early 1900’s at Moore, known previously as the Philadelphia School of Design for Women. A career in commercial art brought Pamela to the Pacific Northwest in 1978: she returned to her first love, oil painting in 1997.
Pamela recently completed a series of six paintings entitled “America the Beautiful” featuring scenes from the Northwest for the new Veterans Administration Hospital Lobby in Seattle, Washington.

Pamela has been featured in seven solo shows and 35 juried and invitational group shows.
Whenever possible she paints en plein air to capture the fleeting qualities of light and the immediacy of the moment. Her work h as been described by critics as “magical and mysterious with beautifully strong compositions employing a wonderfully rich palette.” She specializes in landscapes, home, garden and pet portraits, the last inspired by her beloved terriers, Manfred and Gromit
