Pam Johnson has enjoyed various art forms since childhood. Primarily a self-taught artist, she learned the basics from many from nationally known artists, and after years of painting on location has enhanced her style and become known for her bold and vivid colors. Pam began painting professionally in 1984 in watercolor and upon reaching a certain level of proficiency she decided to try a new medium and began to paint in oils in 1994. Initially she painted using a brush application of paint, but more recently she has been using the palette knife or in combination with the brush to create a more textured surface that enhances the color effect. Pam is inspired by the atmospheric affects of color on form and is compelled to render a scene and transform it into her own unique perspective. Her objective is to share a part of her world, which so greatly influences her life. Judges in competitive and non-juried shows throughout New England have recognized her abilities and private and corporate collectors have purchased her work. Current memberships include the Copley Society of Boston, and the New England Watercolor Society.
