Badassery Life

Pamela Bliss is living a badassery life creating outdoor and indoor murals


Listen Later

Pamela was told by her high school art teacher that she couldn't paint. She showed her! Today, Pamela is living her badassery life supporting herself alone with her artwork. That's something Pamela says not many artists -- and not many female entrepreneurs can say. Pamela Bliss has found a niche and a portfolio that has given her credibility in the field. She's not afraid to tackle any project no matter how big or small. 

Pamela paints large-scale interior and exterior murals and regular canvas size painting. Her subject matters include figures, landscapes, architecture, and portraits. Past murals include many historical, diverse, and ethnic subject matters. Most recently she painted the late Holocaust survivor and international humanitarian ambassador Eva Mozes Kor. Other celebrity work includes a 60-feet-tall Reggie Miller in Indianapolis; late author Kurt Vonnegut at 38 feet and Hoosier rocker John Mellencamp, 35-feet high in his hometown of Seymour.

In this episode, Pamela talks about her career path (she went to college to become a teacher), her start as an artist, stories about some of her celebrity paintings, her successes, her challenges, what matters most, and so much more.
