About the Artist

Biography
Pamela was born in California and has loved to paint and draw since the age of four. She moved to Texas with her family and graduated high school, majoring in Fine Art. To further her talent in the arts, she returned to California to attend the prestigious San Francisco Art Institute. She graduated with Honors in Photography. After college she returned to Dallas and began photographing rock bands such as REM, English Beat, David Bryne, and Devo for a local publication.
Having a passion for painting as well, she continued to exhibit throughout the state. Delving into digital color photography has renewed her interest in photography with great results; Pamela received the “Print of the Year” award at the Plano Photography Club. She is currently working on a new series of the Metroplex, as she believes that preserving Dallas needs to be documented.
