Pam Keaton - Portraits and Illustrations

 

                                                                                             

Pam Keaton lives in southwestern Ohio where she owns and operates a real estate appraisal business.  She has a degree in business and enjoys remodeling run-down houses and refinishing old furniture, but these days she is spending more and more time behind  an easel and a laptop chasing old dreams.

Pam has been creating artwork as well as writing poetry and short stories for over twenty years.  Although she has produced a good bit of commissioned art over the years, her literary work has been kept relatively private until recently.  Pam was thrilled to have one of her short stories, "Roadtrip to Albany", included in The Zinnia Tales, a collection of short stories released in October, 2006, by Mountain Girl Press.   Another of her short stories, "The Baker's Cabinet", was included in Self-Rising Flowers also by Mountain Girl Press and released in October of 2007.
