Biography

master painter, had an exposure to the profound mysteries and beauty of nature as a child in England thus forming a deep appreciation of the natural world around her. This passion guided Pamela into pursuing a career as a watercolour artist.

She studied ceramic sculpture in Montreal, oil painting at Carlton University, Ottawa, and Life studies at Seneca College, Toronto. Pamela honed her skills as a watercolour artist through workshops given by Jack Reid and a workshop in Wyoming given by Carl Brenders.

Pamela paints botanically styled native flora works on 100 percent rag paper. There are times the faeries mischievously pop themselves in one of her paintings.
