About Me
Pamela Anzalotti specializes in the areas of fiction and nonfiction for children's publishing with a
career spanning 25 years of writing, illustrating, paper engineering, and teaching.
Pamela started out working as an award winning fine artist specializing in wildlife painting. She
eventually switched over to illustration and her credits include book covers, numerous adult and
children's book publications, toy illustration, collector's gaming cards, posters, logos, and catalogues.
In 2003, she attended a lecture given by Robert Sabuda on paper engineering. Learning and
perfecting her skills in the craft with the help of Bruce Foster, she now has the ability to combine
her bright vivid illustrations with paper engineering, taking nonfiction and fictional projects
to a whole new level!
Pamela graduated with honors at the University of Illinois at Chicago in Fine Art/Studio Arts, and
The Morton Arboretum, Wheaton, IL. in the Botanical Illustration Certificate Program.
She is a proud member of the Picture Book Artists Association (PBAA),
The Children's Book Illustrators Group (CBIG),
The Moveable Book Society (MBS),
The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI).
Additional skills in areas of interest: Victorian arts including botanical illustration,
quilling, paper pricking, scherenschnitte, silhouettes, and parchment craft.
Pamela is happily married with two children, two droopy basset hounds, a very clever Schnoodle,
and one adopted manatee named Rosie with the Save The Manatee Foundation.
