BiographyArtwork, science, and the relationship between form and function fascinated Pamela Wallace as a child. She studied medicine followed by psychiatry, but the need to be doing art eventually took precedence over her medical practice. She left medicine to pursue her BA equivalent in studio art. Printmaking resonated profoundly with Pamela’s love of science and attention to detail. Following several years of focused concentration and experimentation with different methods of printmaking, she was introduced to encaustic painting. For the past six years, Pamela has been painting with wax in her rural central Virginia studio. Utilizing techniques learned while printmaking, studying with other artists using encaustic media, and constantly experimenting on her own, Pamela has developed her own unique encaustic painting style and imagery.
