A keen observer of geographical influences and life forms, her landscapes invariably invoke recollections of her joy and fascination with all forms of flora and fauna. Pamela’s extensive travel throughout Australia, has engendered a passion for the depiction of this ancient and fragile land. She has produced an impressive body of landscape works, many including elements which depict the influence of human activity on the environment, or our pleasure and reverence in interaction with nature. She loves walking with her sketch pad and a camera at hand, on mountain, river bank, plain and seashore, allowing intimate contact with her beloved country.
