Pam Grafstein’s journey as a photographer started over 25 years ago, when she began her career as a middle school Life Science teacher, and could finally afford her first “real” camera. Investigating the natural world has always defined her character. Early on, she learned to appreciate the value of patient observation, and discovered that fascinating scenes can be found in what at first glance appears ordinary.
Her work demonstrates an emphasis on texture, shape and pattern created by thoughtful composition and purposeful utilization of light. It exemplifies the sentiment that you do not have to travel far for wonderful photographic opportunity, as many of her favorite images were created in her own backyard.
Pam is a long-time member and Co-Vice President of the Rockland Photography Club. Her work has been displayed in exhibits across NY and NJ. Many of her photographs have won awards in exhibits as well as competitions sponsored by the NJFCC and the Rockland Photography Club. She was honored to be awarded an ACOR Artist Support Fund grant in 2025.
