Pam Grafstein

Pam’s journey as a photographer started over 20 years ago, when she began her career as a middle school Life Science teacher, and could finally afford her first “real” camera. Investigating the natural world has always defined her character. Early on, she learned to appreciate the value of patient observation, and discovered that fascinating scenes can be found in what at first glance appears ordinary. Her work demonstrates an emphasis on shape and pattern created by thoughtful composition. It exemplifies the sentiment that you do not have to travel far for wonderful photographic opportunity, as many of her favorite images were created in her own backyard.

Pam is a long-time member and Co-Vice President of the Rockland Photography Club, which has provided the motivation and inspiration that have nurtured her growth as an artist. Her work has been displayed at the Soho Photo Gallery in Manhattan, the Blue Hill Art & Cultural center in Pearl River, NY, the Medford Art Center in Medford, NJ, the Upstream Gallery in Hastings on Hudson, NY, the Art League of Long Island in Dix Hills, NY, the Piermont Flywheel Gallery in Piermont, NY, the Garner Arts Center in Garnerville, NY, the Nyack Art Walk in Nyack, NY, Emerge Gallery in Saugerties, NY, the Clarksville Gallery in West Nyack NY, Gallery Meraki in Garnerville, NY, Barrett Art Center in Kingston, NY , The Barn Gallery in Ringwood, NJ, and at the Intermezzo Gallery at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, NJ. Many of her photographs have received recognition in exhibits sponsored by New York Center for Photographic Art, Adventures in Photography, St. Catherine of Bologna Patron of the Arts Association, and the Ringwood Association of the Arts, and have won awards in competitions sponsored by the New Jersey Federation of Camera Clubs and the Rockland Photography Club.
