Pamela Raine enjoyed crafting jewelry based on the treasures she collected from her worldwide travels. However, since the pandemic Pamela’s inspiration has come from sources closer to home.

Pamela creates necklaces and earrings reminiscent of the pink hues of the flowers in her garden, the blues and greens of the tumbled glass she discovered at Port Townsend’s North Beach, and the colorful sunsets over the Port Ludlow Marina.

You can view Pamela’s jewelry online at portludlowart.org and in person at the Sound Community Bank and at the Port Ludlow Art Gallery For more information, please email info@portludlowart.org.

The bank and gallery are located at the corner of Oak Bay Road and Osprey Ridge Drive in Port Ludlow. If you’d like to purchase Pamela’s jewelry on display at the bank, please email info@portludlowart.org to make a sales appointment or stop by the Gallery between 12:00 and 4:00 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays.
