Pam Hamilton

Pam Hamilton, a native of Springfield, Illinois, recalls carefree days spent riding her bike and playing kick-the-can when everything was groovy. Her artistic journey began with the simple pages of a coloring book.

Transitioning to Southern Illinois University, Pam set aside her crayons and brushes to pursue graphic design. Graduating with degrees in both Fine Art and Visual Communications, she embarked on a successful career in design. However, the allure of traditional art mediums beckoned her back, and she now finds herself immersed once again in the world of brushes and canvas.

Pam’s artistic endeavors have graced solo and group exhibitions across the Midwest and Southeastern United States, with her works finding homes in private collections worldwide. Her talent has been recognized with numerous awards and grants, affirming her dedication and skill.

Currently based in her home studio, Pam continues to create, while also sharing her expertise through curation, teaching, and mentoring. Despite the less-than-glamorous aspects of transporting paintings in the back of a minivan, Pam maintains, “I’m the luckiest girl in the world!” Her life is back to groovy.
