Pam Glover passed away peacefully at home in April 2010  after a long and productive life.  She will be remembered as one of the major plein-air landscape painters in California.
 
Pam's work is notable for bold brushwork and the Impressionist use of rich layers of oil in brilliant tones. An enthusiastic advocate of painting in the out-of-doors, Pam painted entirely on location so that she could capture the excitement of sun and shadows falling across the California landscapes.

Pam was a founding member of the Outsiders, a group of fellow artists whose striking, fauvist style traces its roots back to impressionist groups formed on the West Coast to capture the region's great natural beauty on canvas.

Pam Glover was born in Shanghai, China in 1924, and was exposed early to Far Eastern influences in the arts. Her education is of a varied and extensive nature, as it includes a period in China- where she studied for three years with Olga Popoff; the Polytechnic of Art in Sydney, Australia; the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, CA: and four years with Lundy Seigrist, member of the Society of Six.

While in Sydney, Pam worked as a Fashion Artist at the Hamilton Art Studios. She also taught Arts and Crafts at Kingsley High School in England, and presently teaches painting with adult education in Orinda, California.  Her work has been honored by a one-woman retrospective at the Hearst Art Gallery, St. Mary's College, in the Bay Area.

Pam Glover was a member of the Marin Society of Arts, the Oakland Art Association, the San Francisco Artist cooperative, and the East BAy Art Association. She was the winner of prestigious awards, exhibited extensively through her career and her works appeared in hundreds of private and corporate collections including, Kaiser , Oakland, CA; the Federal IRS building, Oakland, CA; Bank of America, San Francisco, CA the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

Although her health declined over the last year of her life, Pam continued painting almost to the end, often accompanied by her friend, Teresa Onoda, who said, “"Pam was the godmother of plein-air painting in Northern California. She taught countless painters how to capture the peculiar mix or light and sky and color that makes our part of the world so beautiful. She was the link between the current community of plein aire painters and the California founders such as Lundy Seagrist.  You’ll continue to see Lundy and Pam’s influence for decades to come."
