The Paper Scissors Rock collection by Northwest Artist Pamela Corwin is created in her studio in Olympia, Washington. Pamela makes ceramic 'stones' and tea light holders and hand paints them with original intricate mandalas. Pamela has been in business since 1981 and her work has been featured on several national television shows and magazines. In 1996 Pamela was commissioned to paint an egg for the White House Easter Tree. ‘For as long as I can remember I have painted, sketched, and made things out of anything on hand. As a child, I drew on rocks, napkins, my jewelry boxes, and painted on the lamp and clock next to my bed (much to my mother's dismay, I am sure). Art has always been the way I lose myself, calm myself, it is meditative for me. It comes more from a drive than a desire. I don't know how not to do it. It's as much what keeps me alive as food and oxygen’
