Artwork: This painting depicts the gathering and meeting of the tribes around the campsite- the line and dot work is the bush tucker they collected and the tribal boundaries. The elders meet to exchange stories and to trade while the young children play and sing around the campsite.

As a Bundjalung artist, I paint stories about the Dreamtime, myths, Aboriginal survival, land, animals and waterways.
I use rich vivid colours, earth tones and traditional style to tell the stories of the Dreamtime, and my people.

Pam is the granddaughter of the Aboriginal Activist, the late  Jack pattern. Entirely self-taught, Pam is inspired by dreamtime stories, passed on to her from her grandmother. Pam works with vivid combinations of earthy tones, pastels and ochres, dynamic lines and bold shapes characterise her modern designs which often employ graphic symbols from flora and fauna of her ancestry. Pam’s skin name is Baribunma meaning ‘to dream about’ in Bundjalung.
