Rainbow Love Locks, Oil on Board, 9×12

After a successful 30-year career as a public-school art teacher, Pam now spends her retirement years creating works of art and traveling.  She works from her own photographs, creating stylized realistic works with a focus on composition, value, and color.  Subject matter has ranged from florals in early works, to her current passions of pastel portraits and landscapes in oils.  Pam is a member of the Hamden Art League, and the Cheshire Art League.  She has received numerous awards from HAL, and exhibited in 2 person shows at the Keyes Gallery, Willoughby Wallace Memorial Library In Branford, CT, and the Case Memorial Library in Orange, CT, and has shown at the New Haven Paint and Clay Club, and several public venues. Pam’s floral paintings were exhibited at Venetucci Home in Westbrook, Ct and Newport, RI.  Recently, St Annes College, of Oxford University, UK, purchased the rights to one of her landscape paintings, to make prints for alumni and publicity purposes.

Pam has taken courses with Alain Picard in portraiture, and Eileen Eder in landscape.  She is currently working on a 60+ painting series in oils, embracing her passion of travel, and her favorite travel spots.  Through this painting journey, Pam’s true creative passion has evolved to include architecture of many types, water, and coastlines. Mancini’s work is currently exhibited at Spectrum Gallery in Centerbrook, Connecticut.
