Pamela’s History

Pamela Shawley Weaver was born in Ken?n and raised in Bellefonte, PA, and always had an interest in art as a child.  She received a regional high school art award for a figurative oil painting in a show at Schlow Library.

1970’s

Pamela got married at the age of 18 and took figurative and nature oil painting classes at Penn State University through the continuing education program in the early 1970’s.

Commission work began with the sale of pastels and oils in the mid 1970’s.

1980’s

Pamela’s first edition print series began as a commission for a series entitled, “Hawk Trilogy.”

1990’s

In 1994, Pamela took sculpture classes at the Art Alliance of Central PA, in Lemont, PA.  These ceramic sculpture classes are what led Pamela to create her first bronze.

Mid 90’s – 2006

Pamela began to produce many commissions in both ceramic and bronze.  Her clients spanned the US, from California to Florida, and went beyond from Canada to Cypress.  The majority of these works were canine pieces given that she showed dogs and included her artwork the the competitions.

This is when Pamela also began pariticipating in many art festivals and fine art shows primarily in the Northeast US, also securing gallery representation in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts , and Maryland.

Pamela also started to work with companies to reproduce and distribute smaller resin editions of her work.  Big Sky Carvers produced a small resin version of “Incoming.”

2006

Artwork and dog shows became superceded by Pamela’s husbands medical condition.  Long recovery and multiple hospital stays were the new norm.  Caring for him and their animals became Pamela’s primary concern, consuming her sculpture career and their recreational life.

2012

In 2012, Pamela was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a double mastectomy, managing a life of chemotherapy and recovery.  Her low blood count, relocation stresses and “Chemo Brain”, drained Pamela of all creative energy, leaving her in a medication fog.

2013

In post-recovery, Pamela got back to her art-making in her new home and studio in Bellefonte, PA.
