Bio: Pam Ross' background is diverse, but has always been linked to the arts. A graduate of the University of Arizona in Tucson, she holds a BS in Fashion Merchandising with a minor in commercial art. Upon graduation, she became a buyer in the apparel industry and had the advantage of frequent travel to New York and Los Angeles. After a 10-year retail career, Ross became a hair stylist--a move she has never regretted. Her career in cosmetology has taught her many things about life and people, and she maintains that it is a great feeling to be able to get up every day and love what you do. Ross' return to producing art came through a friend and client, whom she thanks for helping her return to the world of studio art. Born on the US/Mexico border, Ross has always been affected by vivid color. Her work is organic, classic, traditional and eclectic, and her style often varies between pieces; sometimes within the same piece.
