Original Artwork, "Haboob in Arizona"

9x10 inches, off white, pastel on wood.

After grad school, Pamela packed minimal belongings into her sand-colored pick-up truck and drove from the Arizona Desert to the beaches of Southern California hoping and praying she could make a new life there.

When she arrived, Pamela decided to take a slight career detour from making drawings and paintings in her studio, to work in fashion. For a little less than a decade she designed her own jewelry line and created drawings for a luxury shoe brand. Simultaneously, Pamela would exhibit her studio artwork in a fine art context. However, in 2015, she abandoned commercial projects for more alone time in the studio with God and a job as a full-time art educator in the Southeast.

Over the years Pamela's artwork has been shown nationally and internationally in galleries, pop up and alternative project spaces, universities, residencies and museums.

In the Fall of 2023, Pamela opened her own gallery titled: D U N A M I S art space. It has been a life-long dream of hers to have an art space that is dedicated to spiritual contemplation.

Pamela lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia but is a West Coast girl at heart.
