PAM IOSSI HAS A SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY ABOUT ART: SHE BELIEVES EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE AND EVERY PERSON IN IT IS A PIECE WAITING TO BE PAINTED.

IOSSI HAS LIVED IN THE SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA AREA SINCE AN EARLY AGE, YET HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. PROVIDING HER WITH EXPOSURE TO A WIDE VARIETY OF CULTURES, ART AND INTRIGUING PEOPLE. FOR INSTANCE, YOU MAY NOTICE A CARIBBEAN INFLUENCE IN SOME OF HER WORK, WHICH RESULTS FROM AN EXTENDED VISIT TO THAT AREA. ALSO, HER LONG TERM INTEREST IN THE SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN CONTINENT IS REFLECTED IN SEVERAL OF HER PIECES.

IOSSI SOLD HER FIRST CANVAS AT AGE THIRTEEN. SINCE THEN SHE HAS DEVOTED MANY YEARS PRACTICING HER CRAFT AMIDST SEVERAL ARTISTICALLY RELATED CAREERS: AMONG THEM, A TWENTY YEAR PERIOD AS THE OWNER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF A CONVENTION ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS IN ARIZONA, WHICH HAS CONTRIBUTED TO HER STRONG NATIVE AMERICAN AND HISPANIC ART PERSPECTIVE. ADDITIONALLY, SHE IS A PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER, PUBLISHED AUTHOR, AND FINALLY, A FULL-TIME ARTIST WITH AN ESTABLISHED GALLERY AND CLIENTELLE, THOUGH SHE HAS NEVER HAD ONE ART LESSON.

BUT CAN SHE PAINT? THE DECISION IS YOURS.
