Pamela Gatens Art

Pamela Gatens (Born 1953) was born in Dallas, Texas. She’s a painter of colorful abstracts, flowers, and cats. She paints nearly every day in her studio in West Virginia. She currently lives in West Virginia with her husband Pat, cats Pokey and Mack and dog Smokey. Her paintings are sold on many websites, and at The Greenbrier Hotel & Resort, in White Sulphur Springs, WV, Carleton Varney, and at several other galleries. She comes from an artistic family and so she loved art from a very tender age. Her father was a professional photographer and her mother was an expert seamstress. Her passion for art is so great so much so that the artist feels nothing makes her happier than painting. While still in high school, Pamela began working in graphic arts, and she enjoyed typography and graphic design as a career until 2002 when she moved to West Virginia. Her colorful paintings come from her soul and from the true happiness she feels in front of the easel. To Pamela, the beginning a piece of art is the most exciting part. No other activity gives her the fulfillment that painting does for her. In 2004, she joined Greenbrier Artists at Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg and started working in watercolor and acrylic. The artist feels that painting on canvas is all about problem solving, freedom and color – she thoroughly enjoys the abstract structure of all paintings. She’s now a creative painter and entertaining teacher, and her framed Pamela Gatens art are found in all corners of the world.
