Pamela Jo Ellis

About the Artist

Pam Ellis received her degree in Art History concentrating in Fine Art from Colby College in Waterville, Maine, in 1981. Always a confirmed realist, she has gleaned stylistic elements from the depth of English landscapes, the immediacy of Homer and the simplicity of traditional Japanese compositions.

Her small scale watercolors are tiny gems that convey a huge scale through a loving rendering of atmosphere and light. She finds inspiration for her work in the intensely familiar scenes that fill her visual world everyday. She captures the essence of a scene by keeping the focus tight and the details precise, drawing you into her world. Her imagery includes the landscape surrounding her lake and mountain home, and children being themselves in the fresh air.

Pam lives with her children, Bethany and Connor, overlooking the east shore of Rangeley Lake in the western mountains of Maine.
