Pamela Wilson is the Mountain Mirror’s March Artist of the Month.
“The nest, the birds and the abundance of natural settings on Lookout inspires my nature paintings. Lookout is where I became an avid bird watcher (guess that makes me old). I love finding and painting nests of bird families - their safe nest homes right in the middle of our safe homes. I love the gathering of bird friends solving all the worlds problems - just like my neighbors and I do,” Pamela says.
“Before delving into the painting world I was a professional photographer, mostly photographing children in natural settings. Along with my photography, my experience in advertising agencies producing print and broadcast ads gave me insight into lighting and composition, which I bring to my paintings.
My love for painting in oil is technically strengthened by my participation in regional art classes,” Pamela explains.
A native of Lookout Mountain, Tenn., and a graduate of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, Pamela is now an empty-nester after raising five children. Her business venture, Art and Soul, allows her to showcase multiple Southern artists’ works along with her own work in bi-annual local art shows. You are invited to come to the upcoming Art and Soul show on Thursday, April 13, 2023, at 543 Clingmans Lane, Chattanooga, from 12-8 p.m.
