“A hiker moves through the landscape. An artist allows the landscape to move through them. From the fixed point of an easel, I become a crude conduit, through which the story of a moment is told. Sometimes I don’t listen very well, or I just don’t get it. Occasionally, I’m able to use pastels or paint to translate that feeling of deep longing into something worth sharing. Yes, I hope to sell paintings, to sell instructional DVD’s and to convince you to sign up for workshops. But, at the end of the day, I really want to convince you that there is more in a reflection than meets the the eye. Stay a little longer. Look again.”

“As a landscape architect, I have a great appreciation for natural environments, designed spaces and special places that people enjoy being in. As a native Californian, I am especially drawn to the diverse natural and manmade environments of this state. I spent some concentrated time learning the techniques of plein air painting in 1999 and 2000 while I was living in Rhode Island, but it wasn’t until I returned to California in 2001 that my desire and motivation to paint landscapes became supremely energized. The foothills, coastal landscapes and unique neighborhoods of California feed my soul. Through painting I celebrate the uniqueness of my home state and the joy of returning home..” — Pamela Panattoni
