From Pam

My earliest remembrances of drawing were at age 10 for a school project. I was in 5th grade and we had to make mini-rolls on long sheets of paper that went through a cardboard box like a projector. My project was to draw all the Presidents up to that time and the current President was Eisenhower (which goes to show you how old I am). Anyway, I did and have been drawing ever since.

My father was a self-taught artist, signpainter, lettering person and I guess that is where I got it. However, my mother was a self-taught seamstress and made most of the clothes my sister and I wore, and we were very well dressed kids. So, I feel she was artistic also.

While living in Nashville, I came in contact with many of the country music stars at the time (the 1970's), through my brother who is also an artist and singer. He at one time was a member of The Grand Ole Opry with a group called the Four Guys. When meeting these people I would do sketches of them and give them to them with the understanding that if they ever needed any artwork they already had samples of my work and could possibly contact me. It always surprised them that I never asked for money from any of them, only their endorsements. During this time I met Minnie Pearl, Roy Acuff, Larry Gatlin, Marty Robbins, Johnny and June Carter Cash and many others and I must say that they were all very gracious people.

Now at last in this time of my life I am at a point that I can devote as much time as I want to do the things I have wanted to for years and one of them is to have my artwork displayed and enjoyed by others as much as I have enjoyed creating it, and if it happens to be profitable too, well that is just extra.
