Pam was nearing her 70th birthday and thinking about retirement. She mentioned to her dear friend Jeremy, that after retiring she would like to take a drawing class. What he responded changed her life. He said, "why wait?" Luckily, she found a drawing class at the Ridgewood Art Institute (NJ), at the only time she had available, and has been involved with art classes and drawing ever since. While her main medium is charcoal pencil, she has also used pastels and oils. Her passion is portraiture.
