Pam Elam

I am the daughter of a retired Chicago Public Schools Art Teacher. The Art Institute of Chicago was my favorite playground growing up. I was born and raised in Chicago, yet have lived in Chile, Spain, Japan, England, Taiwan, Korea, China, and the United Arab Emirates. 

ART is a passion of mine. It is the only way I survived the pandemic. I teach art for the Rio Rancho Public Schools at Lincoln Middle School and always look forward to planting the seeds for a lifelong love of art in as many of my students as possible. When I am not teaching art, I am making art. I have just achieved National Board Certification for Art – Early Adolescence through Young Adulthood.  I serve as a Board Member for the Corrales Society of Artists & also the New Mexico Art Education Association .  I regularly participate in Juried Art Shows and look forward to a retirement of making art to support my out of control addiction to ART SUPPLIES!

I have displayed art at Corrales Fine Arts and Glimmer Glass Studio. I participate in the annual Corrales Art Studio Tour held during the first weekend of May every year. Currently, my art is permanently on exhibition at Artsy Accents in Corrales.
