Rogate’s (115 Franklin Street)

Artist Information

Rogate’s Boutique is proud to host local artist Pam Reeves for the July First Thursday Art Walk.

I have lived in Clarksville since 1976. A military wife, brought to Fort Campbell from Mobile Alabama, my husband and I raised four children here with the help of the Clarksville-Montgomery county school system. My youngest son, Kris, is the reason I took up painting. He is a very talented artist and he, along with Kathy and Dan De Priest, has been extremely helpful in not only teaching, but encouraging me.

I started painting in January 2013. My first entry into an art show was at Riverfest last year. The painting, “The Pond”, was purchased by Neal Tarpley Parchman. I retired from Huneycutt Realtors in February of this year and have been able to paint as much as I want.

I think I love beach scenes, (my Alabama influence), and landscapes best, but animals are fun to do, too. Whenever someone ask me what I like to paint, I always say whatever I see that touches me.
