Pam has spent a lifetime understanding the connectivity between humans and their environment that establishes a sense of place for the human spirit. Her ancestors have lived in the United States since 1640, in the the New England and Appalachian Regions in the eastern United States. Pam comes from generations of artists and craft people. Growing up in the Great Lakes region, her nomadic lifestyle began as an adult when she moved to New England, New York City, Chicago, San Francisco. From the Sierra Mountains and deserts of California, to the rocky Atlantic coast of Maine, to the soft sandy beaches of Florida, Pam has witnessed the effect nature and other environments and culture have on developing our sense of self and place in the universe.

Pam discovered her own sense of place in the northern state of Minnesota with its 10,000 lakes enjoying the vegetative diversity of prairie grassland, boreal forest, big woods, mixed with the culture of the big cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis (Twin Cities). Only here did the ambiance of the natural environment interact with her Celtic and Scandinavian cultural interests to nurture a sense of belonging. Pam resides in Little Canada (near the Twin Cities) with her husband Terry.
