Pamela Caughey grew up in Wisconsin, where she
received her Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from UW-Madison
in 1983. After moving with her family to Hamilton, MT in 1986, she began
her serious study of art, and in 2010 received her MFA in Painting and
Drawing from the University of Montana School of Art. She works in many
media, with special interest in cold wax/oil, encaustic, mixed media and
acrylic. Her work is in the permanent collection of several museums
(Missoula Art Museum, Holter Museum of Art, Nicolaysen Museum of Art)
and public buildings nationally and internationally and her work appears
in the newly published book by Rebecca Crowell and Jerry McLaughlin,
“Cold Wax Medium: Techniques, Concepts, Conversations”. After teaching
foundations courses at the University of Montana, Bitterroot College
(Hamilton, Montana), she is now a full time studio artist and teaches
workshops from her Hamilton, Montana studio, throughout the country and
abroad.
