Pam Finkel received a BFA in printmaking from Albion College in 1980 and has lived and painted on Mackinac Island since 1981. She currently resides with her husband and two children at Woodbluff on the island. Pam also teaches drawing and painting at the Mackinac Island Public School.

"For me the island is a place charged with intense color and energy in which I immerse myself while painting. Juxtaposition of colors is the most important and powerful element of my work allowing me to tap the subconscious and evoke emotions. I love playing with color, creating scenes to suggest a surreal silence or parallel universe where the world vibrates at a higher level. There is a balance and symmetry here between man-made and natural forms, the architecture and trees complementing and echoing one another. Mackinac Island is profoundly beautiful and inspiring and I am thankful every day for the privilege of living and working here."

Pam is a member of the Mackinac Seven Art Group which exhibits in three annual shows on the island.
