Pam Campbell Painting actually began with a pastels medium in 2008, as a hobby painter, and a way to spend quality time with her Artist husband. Soon, she began to experiment with other mediums including acrylics and oils. Although primarily self taught, she continued to learn more every year. As often as she could, she helped with the local art gallery fundraisers, attended occasional workshops, artist gatherings through the local galleries, and art painting sessions. Pamela has enjoyed many of the Arts in addition to painting on canvas, such as studying the making of pottery, music, and many craft hobbies such as crochet, embroidery, and quilt making, and even flower arrangements. Marrying Artist Wayne E. Campbell in 1980, she opted for a business degree in college. She later co-owned and managed her own business for approximately 20 years in the Real Estate field.
