MFPA - Artists

Mouth painting became Pam's new hobby after she was no
longer able to play sport due to her physical condition.

Pam suffers from a rare neurological disease known as
polyneuropathy which is a peripheral nerve disorder, and it
is believed that the immune system attacks the nerves. In
Pam's case, this auto-immune disease has damaged the
motor nerves in her arms and legs.

Pam skilfully taught herself to paint and she was
recognised by MFPA as a student member in 1989. She
has also completed a Bachelor of Arts majoring in
Psychology, Visual Arts and Anthropology, and has a
Graduate Diploma of Behavioural Health Care.

Pam's vibrant style of painting incorporates animals,
humour and country themes and currently resides in a
small Victorian country village called Linton, just west of
Ballarat.
