ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Pamala Ballingham was born in Oakland, California, and grew up near Albany, New York. She holds a bachelor's degree in fine art and education and a master's degree in counseling.
She and her husband, Tim, live in the high Sonoran Desert of Tucson, Arizona. When Pamala experienced the grandeur and noble silence of the desert and red rock canyon lands, her internal world shifted. The ambience of these pristine landscapes influence her poetry, visual art and music. Pamala practices meditation, and studied the profoundly serene and complex art of Japanese tea ceremony both of which weave their way into her art and poetry.
Pamala directed a treatment program in Tucson for adults with serious mental illnesses. She has been a studio artist with pieces represented in books and in permanent collectons. She has also been an award winning recording artist. Pamala and Tim currently give workshops using clay as a means to help people awaken more fully to the fascinating inner world of creativity.
