Pamela Hayes has been represented by Village Gallery since 1979. Pamela grew up in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California. She graduated from California State University at Northridge with a B.F.A. in 1974. Her senior year was spent abroad in Florence, Italy, followed by a year of graduate school at the Royal College of Art in London.

In 1977, she moved to Maui, and over the last 29 years she has established her reputation as a fine painter in the difficult medium of watercolor. Her works have been featured in solo exhibitions at The Village Gallery, as well as juried exhibitions including Art Maui and Artists of Hawaii. In 1996, one of her paintings, Reggae Banana, was accepted in the prestigious annual juried exhibition of the National Watercolor Society and selected for its national traveling exhibition.

Pamela paints her watercolors first-hand from the subject, without using photographs as aids.The remarkable detail nd the nuances of color in her works are testimony to the artist's keen power of observation. She loves to paint nature, finding inspiration in the native Hawaiian plants, especially Hibiscus, that surround her studio on the edge of Haleakala ranch outside of Makawao where she has lived for 29 years.
