About the Artists

Tim and Pamala Ballingham have each pursued their art in quite unique and nationally recognized ways. They now combine their artistic specialties in a major collaborative effort.

Tim Ballingham, B.F.A., M.A.

Tim obtained his Masters degree in ceramic sculpture at Kansas State University under the guidance of internationally recognized ceramist, Angelo Garzio. Tim has been an art educator and developed highly technical and innovative methods of working in clay. His work is included in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C. He has won awards in such prestigious international art exhibits as the XXX Concorso Internazionall Della Ceramica D’ Arte Contemporanea in Faenza, Italy, and Ceramics International at the International Academy of Ceramics in Geneva, Switzerland. His work has appeared in such publications as Ceramics Monthly, the Complete Catalog of the Contemporary Crafts of the Americas, Atlantic Monthly, the Goodfellow Catalog of Wonderful Things, and the large format book, Beautiful Things.

Pamala Ballingham, B.F.A., M.C.

Pamala earned her Bachelors in Fine Art and a Masters in Counseling. She exhibited her "Gorgets" (neck pieces) in the Kruger Van Eerde Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York. The late fashion designer, Edith Head, exhibited Pamala’s one-of-a-kind sculpted neckpieces in an international fashion show. Pamala specializes in painting and design on ceramic wall sculptures. Pamala has received several national awards for her music.

In an extensive effort to locate some of the world’s most soothing "love songs" to children, Pamala researched hundreds of lullabies from around the world. Decisions about which songs to include in these very special collections ultimately came down to which ones have the most soothing melodies and lyrics.
Pamala’s belief in the importance of "nurturing," and her experience as a counselor, inspire and give potency to her choice of material and beautiful musical delivery.
