All about Pamela Jane

Born in Colchester in June 1965, Pamela enjoyed art at primary school but started to really focus on her creative ability at secondary school. She continued the development of her creative talents at college, doing display and window dressing as part of the Clothing & Distributive Trades Course which came under the umbrella of the Arts Department. She used her new found skills to full advantage as a Visual Merchandiser which included creating displays around the store and in the windows. This required making props and painting backdrops in order to create a ‘story’. It is here that Pamela began her journey as a commercial artist.

After a break to bring up her two children Pamela undertook more training across a range of techniques and mediums. Pamela began creating bespoke handmade cards to support fundraising for a charity coffee morning. The cards were really popular. People started asking for prints and her son suggested that she had lots of pieces of art, languishing in the cupboard which would make great prints and so her business Pamela Jane Art was born. Pamela still creates bespoke cards for that ‘special’ occasion. Clients identify the elements which are important to the person the card is designed for, she then allows her creative juices free reign and the results are a unique birthday, anniversary, wedding card etc. which can mark the occasion and then be framed and displayed.

Pamela is passionate about creating something meaningful for both the giver and receiver. Her cards are made with love and they all contain an ‘ART HUG” from Pamela.
