About the Artist
Pam McKnight
Residency from July 13 – September 3
Pam McKnight is a mixed media artist from Boise, ID, joining us for an 8-week residency this July and August. Originally hailing from New Jersey, Pam has spent much of her career in the Southwest and in Texas, before ultimately calling Boise home in 2007. While at Tallac, she will record her daily experiences through paintings, collage, and assemblage. While working within the environment, Pam will draw inspiration from the beautiful surroundings, as well as the historical influences of the 1920s: an artistic celebration of 100 years of making art in South Lake Tahoe.
