Pam has worked as an educator, writer, photographer, videographer, artist, and podcaster. Her work has appeared on TV, in newspapers and magazines, and on a host of online sites. .Her non-fiction book, Living in the Heartland: Three Extraordinary Women’s Stories, featured three contemporary women as they struggle to live graceful lives weighed down by generational trauma and systemic racism. Both her dissertation and her book demonstrate that even though our personal journeys differ, they still resonate with us. These stories connect and lift us.
Pam’s work now focuses on the ocean. She is an ecological artist creating quirky images of marine animals and installations aimed at engaging, informing, and stimulating dialog. She is a podcaster and hosts the Women Mind the Water Artivist Series which explores the connection between the work of artivists and their impact in influencing change.
