My name is Pamela T. Santos and I am Traditional and Digital Media Artist living in Los Angeles, CA. At a young age, I knew that I wanted to pursue an art career, however after high school I found myself following a familiar path into nursing much like many members of my family. I worked my way through nursing school as a caregiver and then later worked as an RN at a hospital in San Fernando Valley.

Alas, it was 2017 and my heart still yearned for the arts! I began taking community art classes at local ateliers, community colleges, and private art colleges. I worked on foundational art skills and explored different kinds of media from watercolor painting to ceramics to digital illustration. During this journey, I started to find myself and my voice again. Currently, I am crafting a career where I can illustrate a series of paintings and drawings, author and illustrate children’s books and develop and work on graphic design pieces for industries such as publication, product packaging design, textile, and hopefully much more. I am eager to share my work, and to utilize my skills and keen eye for detail and creativity in helping others.

When I am not illustrating, you will find me exploring many other creative avenues such as stamp making, plein air painting, gardening and refurbishing antique furniture. I am also very much a reader of crime novels and a master binge watcher of true crime documentaries. Currently, I live with my spouse, 3 cats and 2 dogs! I have a passion for animals and plants, and I enjoy hiking and exploring my native hometown.
