Born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Pamela earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Painting at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 1970. Additional study at East Carolina University was resumed in the mid-80's as well as the New York Art Student's League, the Vermont Studio Colony, and with renowned NC artist Jaquelin Jenkins (1934-1988) of Elizabeth City. Pamela taught art history, theory, and painting courses at private and public schools, Arts Centers, and Community College in her native North Carolina. She was a volunteer for the NC Center for International Understanding in Greece, has illustrated several books on travel and mythology and organized artists' workshops since 1988. Her interest in Greece, philosophically and culturally, prompted her to move to Poros Island in 1990, where she continues painting and advising on educational tours for American and Canadian University Alumni visiting Greece. She is an active volunteer for the Poros Animal Welfare Organization on Poros Island, a member of several environmental charities, and she donates her time and resources to her Island community as needed.
