This multi-gifted artist is about joy. Writing & recording her songs while preparing to release new material is her focus at present. Keith Jarrett once personally invited her to his Spontaneity Seminar where as a young pianist she played for him. She enjoys cowriting. Her musical endeavors nurture other big loves, the camera & storytelling. Pamela's first mentor was NYC photographer Myron Ehrenberg. The seeds of an artist grew as she pursued her voice with honesty & truth in art.
Former Pres. of her local access media station as well as past Vice Chair of her local Dems., back “in the day” Pamela organized her college's first Vietnam protest & exhibited her 'As The River Flows So Flows the Man,' photo exposé of Hudson River polluters. She traveled the river's entire coastline, from NYC to Albany to NJ's Palisades. As an actor, she performed in CHAMBER MUSIC' as Pearl White, by A. Kopit & Giraudoux's 'THE MAD WOMAN OF CHAILLOT,' & most recently in ‘SEEDS, A NEW ENGLAND FOLK HORROR’ an international award winning feature film. Such beginnings for a wild woman with a film up her sleeve!
She's done everything from riding an elephant in a Mexican circus to singing at 12AM atop the Temple of Quetzalcóatl at the Sun Pyramid in Teotihuacán, Mexico. By dawn hundreds of encamped people awaiting the sunrise of a Mayan holy day honored her for purifying their sacred site with her voice. Listen to her song 'AVENUE OF TEARS!' As a Tarot card reader in a Mexican café, she learned enough Spanish to write 'TENGO RAZON.' In the 70's she owned a small P'town restaurant, 'Vital Vittles' & still loves to cook. While traveling, connecting old & new friends, she always has her camera. Her portraits, fine art prints, songs & stories bring joy to clients & audiences alike.
"We're not strangers. Creating beauty through art is my work. Life's short & doesn't always deal easy hands. The playing of tough cards with forgiveness, love, kindness & wisdom moves us through time in more profound ways. What I've learned I share! That's how I live!"
In joy.
