Fancies
Pam Roberts is a thirty-plus year member at Artists at Work where she displays her jewelry, paintings, and her original CD.
​
Pam creates jewelry in sterling silver, gold-fill, and copper. She uses various natural gemstones as well as natural pearls, amber, and coral to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Most recently, she is creating earrings and necklaces in copper employing hammering, riveting, and stamping.
​
Pam paints in watercolor and in alcohol ink. Her watercolors often depict flowers or plants found in West Virginia. She loves the fluid movement of watercolors. Pam paints in alcohol ink also which is even more fluid and it ebbs and flows where it likes!
She finds objects or shapes in the ink and then paints in around the shapes to bring them to the forefront, a fun negative space endeavor. This technique has resulted in paintings entitled “Black Holes” in space and “Underwater, Find Things”.
Pam is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter. She plays at various establishments in and around Elkins and in Chincoteague, VA. You can listen to her original tunes on her CD “Where the Heart Lands” found at Artists at Work.
Pam was a teacher in Randolph County Schools where she was an itinerant special teacher for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. She enjoys working with children and in the past, she taught wildflower drawing, drawing with basic shapes, and song writing to the children in Randolph County Schools. One thousand students across the county wrote their original song, recorded it, designed their own cover, and took the tape home. Pam still is approached by past students who remember that activity.
