Pamela Kainz is an artist who doesn’t just see beauty in the world — she creates it from what others discard. With a background in neuroscience and a childhood spent on a farm in Wisconsin, she is well versed in identifying problems and finding creative solutions. Kainz, now 54, applies her practical skills to her passion for transforming materials — mostly wood — into meaningful works of art. Her “paintbrush” is a torch, and she forages for wood or finds it at construction sites.
