A twist of fate propels this American artist to Greece, instead of France, to join an art workshop in 1982. After a swim in the Aegean Sea, a bizarre epiphany in an olive grove confirms her explorations with painting and instills her with the courage to either mend or end her broken marriage. Her immediate tasks are to heed the lessons of the past, forgive her own mistakes, and resurrect faith in her intuitive powers. Seven years of painting workshops at home and abroad give unparalleled inspiration for her work before another devastating loss: the black curtain lowers when her brilliant, ever youthful mentor loses her life. Reasonable plans for a secure future on her own are firming into place as flashes of illumination continue to beckon from distant shores. The most enchanted moments of her life have occured in Greece. Can living there offer the serenity she seeks? For a middle- aged woman with minimal financial resources to believe she can live her dream is irrational. Maybe she's having a mid-life crisis, but what if she isn't? With her bag of paints, high hopes, and a growing sense of humor she bids farewell to her past and sails forward to 'trust in the process' of creating a new single life and art on a small Greek Island. The author earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting at the University of North Carolina at Greensboros, later studying at the New York Art Students League, the Vermont Studio Colony, and with the renowned artist Jaquelin Jenkins. Pamela's paintings have won numerous awards and are in private and corporate collections worldwide, including the British Royal Collection. Her travel memoir, Greekscapes Illustrated Journeys with an Artist was awared BEST OF EXPAT NONFICTION 2015 by thedisplacednation.com. This is the same travel memoir without the illustrations.
