Pam Claflin

Exploring the natural landscape is what Pamela Claflin is all about. Her deep love for nature, refuge areas, state and national parks and their habitats are what makes her paint. She hopes that her true scenes of nature will give hope to the preservation of them. Using brush and palette knife, Pamela has participated in oil painting events in California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Montana. She credits her painting knowledge to Delbert Gish, who worked with Russian Master, Sergei Bongart, for instilling the knowledge and techniques that she uses today. Further training was with Matt Smith, Robert Moore, Marc Hanson, Roger Dale Brown and Howard Friedland. Pamela has owned and operated art galleries for 25 years, including Mockingbird Gallery in Bend and Rimrock Gallery in Prineville, Oregon. She is now enjoying her time to paint, travel and spend time with friends and family.
