Pamela was born in Vancouver and raised in Alberta. Art has been an interest for as long as she can remember. In school, Pamela was often the student others went to for assistance with any art related project. Life took over after school and she was unable to attend art instruction at a college, however, in 2001, she enrolled in the University of Alberta Extension Department for courses with art instructors and a whole new world opened up for her. Ron Wigglesworth mentored Pam, fostering her love for chalk pastels. Since then, she has had a few solo shows and groups shows over the years and is expanding her skills in acrylic and hopefully into oils as well.
