Pamela Zoline

Pamela Zoline is a science fiction writer and painter. She studied at the Slade School, University College, London, and participated in the New Worlds, New Wave. She has lived in Telluride for almost 50 years, observing Gary Snyder’s advice on getting local: “Find a place you care about enough to stay there and defend it.” The other key is from Wallace Stegner: “One cannot be pessimistic about the West. This is the native home of hope. When it fully learns that cooperation, not rugged individualism, is the quality that most characterizes and preserves it, then it will have achieved itself and outlived its origins. Then it has a chance to create a society to match its scenery.” Zoline is the Mountainfilm 2024 mural artist.
