Pam Brekas

Nevada artist Pam Brekas has been active in the art field her entire life, from painting on her walls as a child to showing her work in regional, national, and international venues. She taught high school art in California before tackling a professional career in photography and art. Her unique style and abstract perspective have helped her earn more than 200 awards and recognitions in the past ten years. She has been in numerous group shows, and many solo shows at art centers and museums. Currently she is working in an abstract aboriginal style.

Pam has taught digital photography classes and painting and crafts classes onboard cruise ships as well as presenting workshops at St. Mary’s Art Center in Virginia City, NV and her home studio. Her work is shown in several Nevada and California galleries and online. She is always trying something new, from creating bottlecap jewelry using her paintings and photos, painting on dominoes, or using new paint from France to make her "cellular surprise" necklaces.

Pam’s life is punctuated with a zest for living, and a yearning to travel. She and her husband travel on their motorcycle during good weather, and sometimes take one of their classic cars on a road trip. Retiring formally from the working world just opened doors for new adventures for them. She was a consignor at East Fork Gallery for six years before becoming a full member in 2013.
