Pamela Panattoni

 Pam Panattoni was born in Alta Dena, California in 1948.  She obtained a bachelor’s degree from the fine arts department at California State University, Fullerton and a master’s degree in landscape architecture from California Polytechnic University, Pomona.  She worked for twenty years as a licensed 
landscape architect in California.

In 1999, a move to Rhode Island sparked an evolution in Pam’s creative focus—from landscape architecture to landscape painting—thereby providing her with a welcome opportunity to return to her fine arts roots.  Since returning to California in May 2001, Pam’s work has been accepted into five California Art Club Juried Exhibits for Painting Patrons in Pasadena, the California Art Club/San Diego Juried Exhibit in Balboa Park,  two Southern California Plein Air Painters Association shows at the San Juan Capistrano Mission, and four LPAPA Artist Members Shows in Laguna Beach.  She was selected to participate in the inaugural Huntington Beach Plein Air Festival in 2005 and the inaugural 
Alameda Plein Air Festival in 2006.  She is also one of 50 artists selected to participate in the San Luis Obispo Art Center Plein Air Painting Festivals in 2002 through 2006.  

Pam won the People’s Choice Award at the 2006 inagural Yorba Linda Plein Air Festival.  In 2004, she won an honorable mention at the Orange County Fair Visual Arts Exhibit.  In 2002, Pam also won a First Place Blue Ribbon and two Honorable Mention Ribbons at the Orange County Fair Visual Arts Exhibit.  
The first place painting “Windmill at Caspers Regional Park” also received a purchase award and is part of the fairground's permanent art collection.  She also won an honorable mention at the California Art Club Paint Out at the L.A. County Fair in 2002.  She is represented by Laguna North Gallery in Laguna 
Beach. During April and May 2006 Pam’s work was part of a group exhibit at the Bakersfield Museum of Art.
