Pam Ellis Seattle Chapter President

Pam’s real vocation emerged from working as a muralist and faux-painter while running a thriving, high-end house painting business with her husband, Jacob. She discovered the staging profession when she visited a house to do a color consult and painting bid. The house was expertly staged—but for the drab purple kitchen and some very worn out cabinets, the house wouldn’t sell. She saw where her skills and experience were needed in this new staging profession. Pam couldn’t resist the challenge. After painting out the walls with warm colors complimenting the staging the house sold in weeks, Pam knew she had found her next career. “I swear I heard angels singing in heaven when I loaded my paint ladders for the last time,” she says.
