Born in Brisbane, Pam has undertaken a broad range of Art Studies  including being taught by William Robinson in the 80's whilst studying Creative Arts Associate Diploma.   In 1990 Pam  established   her own Decorative Art Business "Final Touch Studio", designing and painting  "home portraits" commissions and teaching  art classes.    She returned to study at Southbank Institute during 2005-6, to explore Visual Arts -New Media & Illustration, when she renewed her exploration of  art on canvas.

Pam was always fascinated with all things old, especially houses and their stories,  maps and detailed architectural line drawings but at the same time the storey telling and simplicity of ancient and primitive art forms.  Her paintings could be best described as narrative landscapes, as they are full of symbols and stories .

Pam illustrated and wrote her first book "My Brisbane" in 2007 - showcasing her paintings and sketches of Brisbane,  after completing her Diploma.  The St. George Bank acquired her painting "Brisbane Plan" in 2006 awarding it Highly Commended in the Green Dragon Art Competition and in 2008 and 2010 she was selected as a Finalist in the PINE RIVERS Regional Art  Awards; exhibited regularly at Paddington Galleries and was selected in the inaugural BARIFEST Exhibition at Kiln Gallery.  In 2009 Pam was a Finalist in the ARTSTATE "Yes Minister Awards" exhibiting at Parliament House and to highlight a great year her painting "Impact on Moreton Bay" was selected as a TATTERSALLS LANDSCAPE ART PRIZE FINALIST

.

In 2010 Pam had her first Solo Exhibition "ALONG THOSE LINES".  This was a great success with most of the paintings selling and response to her work was overwhleming supporting her narrative to keep character buildings alive in Brisbane.  She was invited to exhibit in the inaugural Tattersalls BRISBANE LANDMARKS EXHIBITION and was also a Finalist in the Moreton Bay Art Awards.   

Pam has continued exhibiting regularly and had her second solo exhibition 'MY TOWN IN July this year in the aftermath of the Brisbane Floods which was dedicated to those who lost and those who shone, through the mud, to inspire others -  Queensland Volunteers  .

Pam loves being a tourist in her own town, and living in a city which is so young that the stories havn't really become history yet ... especially those unwritten of the original Aboriginal custodians.   Working with Historians, community and the Indigenous  in 2007 to create the "Mitchie turns 150 "series is an example of how she explores the stories behind where we live creating a deep sense of belonging, identity and community in her work.
