This past weekend I was able to visit Pamela Weir-Quiton's studio. Here she is laughing it up with Joel Chen , who will be showing a number of her pieces at his gallery. Born in Indiana to a military family, Pamela attended high school in Alaska and Reno. Since 1964 she has lived and works in Los Angeles. She was interested in fashion design, which is a thread that runs throughout her career, be it with her dolls, numerous commissions in shopping centers and even her marriage to fashion illustrator Gregory Weir-Quiton. While a sophomore at Valley State College (now California State University, Northridge), Pamela won a 1965 guest editorship position with Mademoiselle magazine in New York City. In addition to doing editorial work, she did some modeling (on the right). Source: Mademoiselle, 1965 She also met Andy Warhol and is seen here on the left waiting for a signed napkin. It doesn't get anymore New York than this. Source: Mademoiselle, 1965 I love the mentio...
