"Pamela Underwood Studios" consists of two expressive arts studio locations. "Pena Rosa Studio" overlooks Mount Woodson on three acres in rural Poway, California and "Turtle Crow Studio" is nestled on five acres in the hill country of Austin, Texas. At this time most workshops, classes, retreats and private therapy sessions are held in Poway but soon the same offerings in Austin will include an Expressive Arts Study Program; projected date to begin Spring 2009.

Philosophy: Pamela Underwood's Expressive Arts Studios offer support in the daily practice of living a resilient, creative life. No art background is necessary to be successful in the shaping of a dance or the painting of color and emergent images. Art making is innate to our human being-ness. Music, visual art, movement and poetry are expressive arts that have the ability to safely hold both the light and the shadow of our lives. The practice of expressive arts is one of the most intimate ways of being with one's self.

Pamela Underwood Studios invites you to deepen this partnership with your imaginal realm so that it can come forth as a helper in the realm of every day. As we work on our images our images work on us. Art making is the voice of our soul; we must show up to listen.
