about.
Welcome to the world of Pan Pan Studios. I am a visionary artist; creatrix; a soul in love with the magical and mystical natural world around us. I am also an author and freelance writer; educator; certified 200 hour yoga teacher; and solo mother to an amazing young man.
Painting is my life's work - the space where I find meaning, purpose, and a bit of magic. Many of my paintings are created to help raise awareness and funds for causes I believe in, and I'm passionate about using my art to serve in this way.
The cozy, sacred space I call home is located in Upstate South Carolina, right at the edge of the woods. It's a place of mild winters and sweltering summers, where leaves glow brilliant in the morning light and creek side choruses of frogs and insects usher in the sunset. Woodpeckers, anoles, deer, cardinals, herons, snails, barred owls, toads and inspiration abound.
I have taught classes and workshops on portrait drawing; intuitive drawing; intuitive/meditative painting; and more. I love helping others open up to the magic that creativity can bring into our lives. You can reach me via email at amialley@hotmail.com.

I am an award winning visionary artist, freelance writer and author, special education teacher and happy solo parent of a fine young man. I strive to bring forth in my work something that has never before been seen. Ancestral and natural energies come together in my work, forming an intersection of my deep love of the natural world and my reverence for the ancient and indigenous wisdoms that have shaped my life.
My work has been featured in public and private collections nationally and abroad.
I have worked in collaboration with Athens, Ga. based Hippocampus Designs to design a skirt featuring my work, Say Yes to Green. I was the illustrator and cover artist for Cassie Premo Steele's novel, The ReSisters. My work has been featured in multiple editions of the We'Moon, including the current 2026 edition. My work was also included in Patti Digh's 2013 book, The Geography of Loss.
My first novel, The Absence of Anyone Else, was published in 2010 and re-released as a second edition print with book club questions in late 2018. My first and only collection of poetry, Jefferson Avenue Poems, was released in 2022.
I currently live with my adult son, who is a university student, in Upstate South Carolina. I am a columnist for the Index Journal Newspaper and regularly freelance for SO Lakelands Magazine and Newberry Magazine. I have curated and participated in multiple art exhibitions throughout the Southeastern United states and am always seeking new exhibition opportunities. Contact me at amialley@hotmail.com.
