“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

“From the time I was in kindergarten, they couldn’t get me away from the easel. Long winters in New England made me find ways to occupy myself. Coloring was a frequent activity. I remember liking the blank pages of coloring books the best so I could draw on my own.

In college, my practical side led me to study graphic design and work in graphic design. While also studying art history and visiting art museums frequently. Once I became a stay at home parent, I was able to study watercolor with William Ternes of Massachusetts and became focused on that one medium.

I moved to Northern California in 1995 and felt that painting outside was the logical thing to do. The Mediterranean climate and lovely rumpled landscapes became my subject. I am attracted to color, pattern and texture in the hills.” — Robin Purcell

“I believe art elevates the world.  While looking at art, we temporarily move away from our own reality into a larger perspective where we  experience a moment of  peace. I paint what I love with all my heart.  My hope is that my paintings will ring true and touch the lives of others in a meaningful way.”  — Janine Salzman
