Painter Pamela Ruschman is best known for her bold and vibrant oil portraits of barnyard animals including cows, chickens and sheep. Collectors say her paintings capture the personality of these furry and feathered friends.\\xa0

Her art career began twenty years ago and painting Wisconsin\\u2019s livestock and landscape has been an ongoing passion. Pamela\\u2019s distinctive visual voice is the result of many years of studio work and painting plein air with subjects. Expressive brushwork captures the unique spirit and personalities of animals along with the patterns and textures of the land.

I actually discovered Pam\\u2019s art myself when she commented on the show recently. Her lively brush strokes bring to life farm animals, landscapes, and humans. I\\u2019m personally pulled in by her compositions. My favorites are the close ups of farm animals, because I love the way Pam handles the negative shapes. The energy and her handling of temperature and chroma make these spaces as fascinating to me as the subjects themselves. I got in touch with Pam to see if she would share how she\\u2019s navigating the sale of her work through galleries, art fairs, and online.
