Painting these vibrant colors literally shifted me from darkness to light

My journey as an artist began when I heard a voice whisper in my right ear, “go buy plates and paint on them.”

So I did.

I was going through a very dark period in my life, and as I was mixing my vocal cd “I am free”, (Apple Music, Shopify, iTunes) a celebration of God’s healing in my life from memories of childhood abuse, I began painting my emotions through vibrant color.

Never having painted before I was amazed at was was coming out of me. That same voice also guided me as far as how much paint I should use, the colors and the technique. It was totally transforming my energy and heaviness from the memories.

Painting these vibrant colors literally catapulted me from darkness to light.

That experience became the foundation of my One-Stroke-Movement™—a soul-driven technique when my stroke of energy and colors collide—in one decisive, unrepeatable stroke. What began as a personal path to healing gradually became my career.

Through the years, I continue to experiment with new tools, inspired by new techniques, and have expanded from intimate works to large-scale colorscapes reaching up to 12 feet.

Today, my work lives in hotels, commercial properties, public spaces, and private residences around the world. I create originals, custom prints, and cohesive art programs on metal, acrylic, fabric, granite, and other architectural surfaces.

My passion is collaborating with architects, designers, and collectors to create art that transforms a space into something extraordinary and experiential.

Before I create, I ask God to touch each piece with light so that those who experience it may feel a positive internal shift of their own.

That same energy also flows through my LOVE heartZ™ and my Italian silk scarves, each carrying the simple message: “Everywhere I go, I take my LOVE with me.”

“We commissioned Pam to create a (9'x4') painting on metal for our home, featured on the Discovery TV Series Epic, which became one of the home's center pieces. The art could be seen from 800 feet away with its spectacular nature & lighting. Highly recommend Pam!”
