If you drive around Oakland you may stumble upon and admire murals and mosaics on schools and buildings. Public art is part of Oakland’s culture and is what makes us unique. Several of those public displays were done by Pam Consear. A longtime Oakland resident who, after serving in the Peace Corps and teaching in local classrooms, jumped into her passion — creating and teaching art. Her home in Redwood Heights has been a hub for the community: Many paint parties and mosaic master classes were held in her oversized garage and workshop. Her home is a bohemian mix of classic 1930s Spanish Mediterranean and artsy touches. The exterior entry greets you with a custom mosaic-studded arch, and several other displays of whimsy and texture were added to make 3636 Monterey truly one of a kind. Airy, cozy and move in ready.
