Australian watercolour artist, Pam Slattery, has been painting and exhibiting professionally since 1980. While living in Far North Queensland from 1979 to 2002, Pam was represented by several galleries in Cairns and Port Douglas. Over the past 40 years she has had several successful solo exhibitions and been part of numerous joint exhibitions, in both Australia and overseas.
The idea for “Cobber” germinated while Pam was living in Cairns, during which time the rainforest creatures featured in this book were
a big part of her everyday life.
Pam was artist-in-residence at the Radisson Treetops Resort, Port Douglas, and at Silky Oaks Lodge, Mossman, Queensland, where
she spent weeks at a time living and painting in tropical beach and rainforest surroundings.
In 1999, and again in 2014, Pam was selected to exhibit in the prestigious Birds in Art Exhibition at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum
in Wausau, Wisconsin, USA. Both paintings were purchased by the Museum as part of their collection.
In June 2016, Pam moved to the NSW Southern Highlands where she paints from her little studio on the outskirts of the historic village of
Burrawang. Her great love is painting birds and she is a keen birdwatcher and photographer.
