Pamela Fermanis

Pamela was born in Washington D.C. and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Moore College of Art in Philadelphia. The impressionist qualities of Pamelas detailed, delicate paintings reflect the tradition of "The Philadelphia Ten", a group of women painters educated in the early 1900s at Moore, known formally as the Philadelphia School of Design.

Visits to the English and European countryside have inspired her pastoral scenes of an idyllic nature. She instills the same tranquil, dreamlike qualities to her paintings of local northwest and coastal scenes, images that beckon the viewer to pause and reflect. Her aim is to provide a small oasis of peace for the viewer.

Her work has been described by critics as being magical and mysterious with beautiful, strong compositions employing a wonderful rich palette.
