Where Artistic Memories Begin by PAM HAIRFIELD

"Vintage Beginnings" is a place for me to document and share my thoughts, family, inspirations and creativity. They "begin" here for your enjoyment, as well as mine and some day, they will be "vintage" and hopefully, a link to my history.







MIXED MEDIA ARTIST

My photo
My name is Pam Hairfield. I have been creating most all my life, from paper crafts to sewing to needle work and everything else, in between. I would describe myself as a versatile, Mixed Media Artist. I have previously volunteered my time and craft experiences with senior citizens and as a leader in Girl and Boy Scouts. It gave me great satisfaction. Since being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 12 years ago and having to retire from nursing, my passion for creativity and self expression has kept my mind and heart open. I am consistently discovering new art techniques and perspectives, by taking workshops, reading, experimenting and sharing with other artists. This not only fulfills my own satisfaction, but will allow me to share my learned knowledge and encourage the process and creativity with others. I live with my loving husband of 28 years, who supports all my quirky ideas and 3 rescued dogs, Cody, Sam and Lily. I have three married children, 2 grandchildren and a third due next February. My life is full and I couldn’t be any happier!

'TRICK OR TREAT"

It's done! My first workshop at Donna's studio is set up for the 13th of October! I am super excited and a little nervous, but over all... I'm good.




“TRICK OR TREAT” A 6x6 HANDMADE CANVAS ALBUM; 6-9 pm $40

Come join me for a frightful night of ghoulish laughter and haunting memories. At the stroke of 6 pm, I will guide you in how to create your own spooky, canvas album. You will be using “secret potions” of paints, inks and modeling paste, along with stencils and objects to add layers and creepy texture to the canvas and chipboard. Add layers and distress each piece. Make it creepy, make it yours ,to remember the horror on this special night!




Hope to see you there!
