Pam Collins is mostly a self-taught artist, who works in watercolors, mosaics, and fabric (though not simultaneously). She has studied under nationally known artists in pursuit of her favorite medium. Collins has lead numerous watercolor, fabric and mosaic workshops in her studio, at area art centers and school districts. Pam loves to share her passion with others and is inspirational in her work.
She has received grants from Five Wings Arts Council funded from the McKnight Foundation. Most recently, Pam won a 2014 Community Arts Leadership award.
