Close to Home Studios is the base for the creative pursuits of Pam Powell and also includes some images by her late husband Richard Custer. Pam lives in the small coastal community of Gualala, California, where she is a member of the North Coast Artists Guild (www.northcoastartistsguild.com) and the Discovery Gallery Artist Collective. In 2024, the prestigious International Color Competition nominated Pam's work in the categories of Landscape, Wildlife, Americana, and Still Life. And this just in ... the jury panel for the 2025 International Color Competition nominated her work in the categories of Americana, Nature (2), and Wildlife -- see the International Color Competition page. Many of Pam's images are available for purchase through Fine Art America at fineartamerica.com/profiles/6-pamela-powell. If you're interested in images that aren't on Fine Art America, they can be added -- just let me know. Enjoy your visit to the site! And thanks for your interest.
