About Pamela
Pamela is a painter known for capturing the distinctive light and vibrant colors of the American West.
After earning her BFA in Visual Arts from Michigan State University, Pam Kraft moved west to Wyoming, where the landscape and community helped shape her signature style. She taught art in rural Wyoming for more than 30 years and was honored as Wyoming Art Educator of the Year, a Fulbright Scholar, and a recipient of the Milken National Educator and Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Power of Art Awards, among others.
During that time, she raised two daughters, now grown, and developed a lifelong love of animals and the outdoors.
Now retired from teaching, Pam focuses on her studio practice and works across multiple media as an accomplished colorist. She splits her time between a cattle ranch in Wyoming and a home in Congress, Arizona.
Her work has been showcased at venues including the University of Wyoming Art Museum, the Desert Caballeros Western Museum, the Wickenburg Art Center, Gallery 123 in Casper, Wyoming, and Rock, Paper, Scissors Gallery in Cheyenne.
Her pieces have also earned numerous Best of Show and People’s Choice Awards.
