PAM SLATTERY was born in Melbourne in 1949 and moved to Cairns in 1979.  As the daughter of an artist, Pam had always been interested in art and drawing, but it was not until her move to the tropics of Far North Queensland in 1979 that she began painting seriously.

Her paintings were popular from the beginning of her career.  She was represented by the Upstairs Gallery and Reef Gallery in Cairns, the Mowbray Gallery and Christy Palmerson Gallery and Port Douglas Gallery of Fine art.  Pam has had several successful solo exhibitions and been part of many joint exhibitions and her paintings continue to be purchased by Australian and overseas art collectors. Pam was artist-in-residence at the Radisson Treetops Resort, Port Douglas and at Silky Oaks Lodge, Mossman, where she spent weeks at a time living and painting in tropical beach and rainforest surroundings.In 1999, Pam was selected from over 1,000 submissions worldwide to exhibit in the prestigious Birds in Art Exhibition at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wisconsin, U.S.A. The painting, “Aussie Birds”, was also selected for the National Tour and then purchased by the Leigh Yawkey Art Museum as part of their permanent collection.
