My Story
MY NAME IS PAM SIMS
     I am an artist and surface pattern designer but, I am also an advocate in the fight against human trafficking and sexual exploitation. 
     I am so glad you stopped by this page. 
    This is the most important section on my website.  Let me tell you a story about how it all began.
     In 2017 I had the privilege of going to Germany to work with an organization called Kianos.  
     Kainos is a nonprofit ministry working against human trafficking and sexual exploitation through prostitution in Stuttgart, Germany and around the world.
     After spending time with the beautiful young women in the brothels I left Germany changed.  I knew that I had to do more than what I had done.  I started with a simple piece of jewelry, a necklace with 6 small charms. Five of those represented a letter in the word Brave. 
B-Beautiful (a pearl)
R-Ransomed (an icthus)
A-Adored (a flower)
V-Victorious (a palm leaf)
E-Empowered (a cross)
     The last charm added was a butterfly that represents freedom. I wanted my customers to wear that necklace and know that they were part of changing a young woman's future. In addition I added a bracelet as well. 
     Each piece of jewelry that I made I gave a portion of the profits to Kianos.  B ut,  I knew I wanted to do more.  So, after taking some time away from creating jewelry I decided that I had to do something that would have lasting beauty and an eternal impact of the lives of these young women. That is when I began painting and designing surface patterns.   It quickly became my passion!
       Every item sold from this website will help with this important work.  I am committed to helping in this fight.  I hope you will join me.  When you buy a painting I will give a portion of all my proceeds to organizations like Kianos 
    
      I hope you will join me in ending the sex trafficking of young women in Germany and around the world.
