Paintings from around the Pacific Northwest by Pamela Claflin
Pamela has spent much of her life exploring the natural landscape. Her deep love for wildlife and refuge areas and state and national parks and their habitats are reflected in her works. Claflin’s hopes are that her true scenes of nature will encourage the preservation of it.
“I strive to capture the wholeness of an area using brush and palette knife…….. I wish to express my deep love of nature into my plein air and studio paintings for all to enjoy.”
