As a highly respected Impressionistic painter of the Pacific Northwest, Wachtler’s detailed and delicate oil paintings reflect the tradition of the “Philadelphia Ten”; a group of painters educated in the early 1900’s at Moore College of art, PA. With great respect for the American Impressionism, Wachtler carries on this painting tradition. “Early on, I made a conscious choice to portray through my art the beauty and hope that I find in nature. My goal is to provide a moment of respite from the chaos of our complex world. The earth’s landscape is full of beauty, I want to share that vision.”Fall 2018 Pamela Wachtler at Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, “Impressions of Place” Featured artist Online Bainbridge Currents Art Magazine https://www.bainbridgecurrents.com/artist/pamela-wachtlerIn collaboration with her son, “A Time of Light and Hazy Color”; poetry by Alex Fermanis, illustrations by Wachtler.
