Inspiration

"My main inspiration as an artist is in the Scottish landscape and seascape. I enjoy using colour to define contours, structure and changing light sequences. I search out specific view points. I am equally inspired by the rugged isolation of the Western Isles and the dramatic view points of the Eastern coastline. I work predominantly in oil".

Collections

Pam's work is in numerous private and public collections including Royal Bank of Scotland, University of Liverpool, Baillie and Gifford, Cameron House, Port Charlotte Hotel, Islay and Hotel Eilean Iarmain, Isle of Skye.
