Her life and work have always been influenced by nature and the outdoors. Because of this love of nature, it is no surprise that Pamela is also an accomplished biological illustrator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 color2-border-color col-lg-12\" style=\"border-bottom: 2px solid; padding-bottom: 35px;\">\n<div>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: .75em;\">Pamela spent her early years stomping around the wetlands and lush deciduous forests of Michiana, observing and studying the abundant flora and fauna. Her first nature illustrations were of leaves she found and used to create a tree identification book. As a professional illustrator, she worked predominantly in the interpretive exhibit field, designing and creating illustrations for exhibits appearing from the Caribbean to Alaska. Her fine art has been shown in galleries in Sarasota, Bend, Boise, Santa Cruz, at the Oakland Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, and throughout the Seattle area. Most recently, one of her paintings won third place , and another, people&#8217;s choice at the juried Coastal Plein Air Art and Wine Festival in Florence, Oregon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 color2-border-color col-lg-12\" style=\"border-bottom: 2px solid;
