Pamela Nelson said her life’s course was set watching her grandmother’s hands making handwork items from fabric. Full circle from start to finish and back again to start is how she said her work progresses. An artist-citizen of the City of Dallas, Pamela closely identifies with urban life. She has contributed to public art at DFW Airport, five DART light rail stations, Northpark Center, First United Methodist Church of Richardson, and several local hospitals. Her outreach includes working with Honduras Threads, the Stewpot Open Art Program, and Incarnation House. Pamela's work is in the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, El Paso Museum of Art, and several American embassies abroad. She served on the U. S. Commission of Fine Arts in Washington D.C. from 2001-2011.
