About Pam

Pam lives in South Western Sydney and works as a multidisciplinary artist. Her studio is situated amongst Cumberland Plain Woodland. Pam’s ongoing fascination with the wonderful diversity of people, places and nature is the source of inspiration in her work. Over the years this creativity has been a powerful force that moves her through life. Her work encompasses the response to the shifts of thinking in drawings, paintings, prints and sculptures studies in clay and to bronze.

Pam travels to research new landscapes, regularly returning to those of significance to her. This informs and energizes her work.

Pam has been a finalist in many major art prizes over the years NSW Parliament Plein Air, Fisher’s Ghost, Calleen Art Award, Kogarah Art Prize, Mosman Art Prize, Portia Geach Memorial Award. Winner, Works on Paper, The Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize to name a few.
