About Me
- Name: Pam
- Location: Vermont, United States
Before the onset of ALS I kayaked rivers and the ocean, hiked the Green mts. of VT and was moderately successful as an artist. I can no longer use the pastels, colored pencils and papers I so loved and now paint with the help of my computer to express the musings of my mind. Every day is a fight to hold my disease in check, but each day is also a gift. I fight my battle with the help of my wonderful family and friends, and my husband who sticks by me with love, help with the things I can't do on my own, and humor.

Dance in your dream m'dear. Dance.

I'm loving your artwork here, especially your dream. Dance Pam.
Love you!
Pam--thank goodness your talent remains with you.
What stunningly evocative portraits of two opposites.
Pam,
These pictures are simply remarkable. How well they express your journey, your artistry - your brave confrontation of the facts and your lovely re-creation of the joy of dance.
Remarkable.
Wow Pam....spectacular.
Do you ever sell your work? You should indeed.
Hugs,
Nancy
I'm always glad to see you here with a new post! Love the pictures: keep the spirit dancing inside!

I agree with AC...my wish for you is to dance in your dreams nightly.
Wow, this makes for a powerful pair. It says to me that we all have a choice about how we react to things. Whenever I visit your spot, I try to imagine your spiritual strength, which actually is massive and is as flexible as the upper limbs on an old oak tree. You seem to have found a way to transcend the physical and spiritual pain, at least in small stretches. You art speaks to my own situation this year. Thanks for both pieces.
Love it, just LOVE it!!!
Lovely dream work and your talent does shine.
