Pam Jenkins, teacher and artist, will have an exhibit of her pastel and oil landscape paintings at Islanders’ Bank through April. Having always had an interest in art, Jenkins was an art major for a year in college before choosing to major in elementary and early childhood education.

Most of her work was in fiber arts until she visited a gallery in Bow-Edison 20 years ago and fell in love with the look of landscapes in pastels. It took her another 12 years to get up the nerve to try it and after a pastel class in 2001, she was hooked.
