Pamela Wilson is a visual artist, working primarily in clay, fiber and craft-based performance and community-building. She learned to make pots as a child and has maintained a studio practice that includes making, teaching, assisting elder artists and developing community arts projects for over 20years.

In addition to working as an artist, Pamela is trained as a psychotherapist and specializes in family-building, birth, loss and the perinatal period. Psychodynamic and gestalt perspectives on cycles of life, death and generational transformation deeply inform her making and visual language. She studied visual art, writing and performance at Bennington College under Barry Bartlett, Dean Snyder, Carol Diehl and Susan Sgorbatti and has a MA in clinical mental health counseling from Goddard College. She currently maintains a studio at Studio Place Arts in Barre, VT.
