Pam Talley Stoneburner has always loved horses and enjoyed capturing their beauty in portraits done in pastels, pencil and pen & ink sketches, oils, sculptures and now photography. Since graduating from Virginia Tech with a degree in Animal Science, Pam has specialized in creating life-like portraits of horses and other animals. Her originals and reproductions are displayed in homes across America and abroad. Breyer Animal Creations and Red Mill Manufacturing Company commissioned Pam to do original sculptures for their reproductions. Southern States Feeds and  Augusta Cooperative Farm Bureau have used Pam’s artwork for their feed bags. Over the years, many t-shirt designs, greeting cards, magazine covers and decorative flags have featured the drawings and logos done by Pam. Rob and Pam rode horses to their wedding  and horses continue to be a part of their family today. Daughters Kelly and Melody ride and train young horses, compete in endurance races and give riding lessons to beginners. Son Paul prefers deer hunting, but will occasionally take a trail ride in the mountains with the family. Rob’s company, Virginia Frame Builders in Fishersville constructs quality horse barns and sells building supplies and fencing materials. Pam also enjoys volunteering as an instructor for Ride With Pride Therapeutic Riding Program in Staunton and as a coach of the Augusta County 4-H Horse Judging Teams. With the children getting older, Pam  now has a little more time to put into her artwork and photography.
