Inspired by Nature
Pamela Beaverson is best known for the subtle greens, violets, and open skies that appear in her oil paintings of the Great Basin country that she loves. 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.
Background
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.
Current Studio
Recently, Pamela moved with her wife and three dogs from the Seattle area to Bend, to live in Oregon’s high desert country. As often as possible, she heads out of town to camp, smell the sagebrush, and paint en plein air. She currently works as a fine arts painter, illustrator, and website designer and developer.
