About

 

Does it brighten your day to receive a gift or note that makes you smile and lets you know the sender truly knows and appreciates who you are? Do you enjoy getting something for yourself once in a while simply because it reflects something about your personality or style that everyone might not know?  

Me too…

Hi, my name is Pam DeCosmo, I’m an artist who lives in Phoenix Arizona with my husband Rick and our 2 little dachshunds, Katie and Ivy.

There's a picture of me, at around 4 years old, sitting at the dining room table, getting introduced to how it felt to have a pencil and crayon glide across some paper... I liked it. My mom encouraged me from the beginning, sometimes helping me turn my early drawings into thank you notes to family members. I love many types of art and communication, but for me nothing tops a happy fun image created to make people smile, or a heartfelt, handwritten note to tell someone you really care.

Influences growing up... 

Charles Schultz
Doris Day
Barbie
Various Paper Dolls
The Love of Dogs and Critters in general 
Retro 60's inspired Peace, Love, Smiley faces and Daisies etc.

Later education...

Art Scholarship ~ Colorado State University
B.F.A. in Graphic Design ~ Arizona State University 

Current Medium~ 

Wacom Tablet Pen and Ink

Toss all of the above together, and it inspired me to create Miss Dog Dress-Up as the first series from the PJ Happy Art Shop. She was designed to be a fun way to celebrate style with a smile. She makes a great, unique and playfully chic personal gift for that special someone... or yourself!

So what are you and your favorite girls into? Let Miss Dog help you share it with the world!

Love, 

Pam
