The Artist has traveled in England and Italy, photographed beautiful landscapes, buildings and people and works from her photographs and live models to create her paintings and sculpture.
A native of Washington State, Pamela Searcy grew up in Central Washington where her family owned orchards on the Yakima Indian Reservation. Drawing and painting were her favorite adventures as a child and she continued her interest in art studying Design, Drawing, Painting, Sculpture and Art history at Seattle University and the University of Washington.
After completing under graduate and graduate degrees from Seattle University, Pamela taught elementary school and then art at Inglemoor High School. With the demands of three small children the Artist was busy at home for several years, keeping up with her artistic interests as time allowed. Now that the children have completed their university degrees, the Artist is enjoying a new freedom to arrange her interests around a life-long love of artistic expression.

I started painting as a teenager. My interest began in middle school. The art teacher was well known for his work. But beyond that, he was an amazing teacher whose greatest talent was inspiring his students. His encouragement still rings in my ears whenever I pick up a paint brush.
Life has blessed me with many opportunities, but life has also limited my opportunities to follow my passions. Simply put, life is complicated and busy. But now, as I've found more free time at this stage of my life, I've been able to give more attention to my painting. I'm enjoying it so much that sometimes painting gets too much of my attention!
My interest is abstract painting. I prefer to use acrylic and mixed media. I get my inspiration from my other interests, including outdoor activities, photography and watching the beauty of sunrise in the mornings.
