Why we love this product!

Pamela came from quite a legacy. On her maternal side there is long list of relatives who were famed artists and writers. On her paternal side was a lineage of businessmen and government officials.

We're also inspired knowing that Pamela went to the renowned Pratt Institute to study illustration. These a mere few fascinating facts about this extraordinary woman.
