Pam Connolly is a lens-based artist and book maker who has been investigating the theme of home for more than 30 years. Her photographs of tin dollhouses, domestic spaces, and family portraits look closely at the idealized American dream, exploring childhood memory and the notion of home; the yearning between the imaginary and the real.

Connolly’s photographs are held in the collections of Brown University and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts Houston, as well as numerous private collections. Her books, Fly in Amber and Cabriole were acquired by the Hirsch Library, Houston, the University of Michigan’s Art and Design Collection, the Beineke Library at Yale, and the Museum of Fine Arts at Harvard. Connolly has exhibited her work nationally at the Ogden Museum in New Orleans, Foley Gallery in NYC, and Candela Gallery in Richmond, and internationally at the Kominek Gallery in Berlin and the National Portrait Gallery in London. Most recently Connolly was included on the short list of 20 photographers in the International BBA Awards Exhibition in Berlin.

Connolly was named a 2024 Critical Mass Top 50 finalist, and is the creator and  curator of Landau Gallery, a miniature art space showcasing photo-based art in 1:12 scale.

Connolly received an MFA in Photography from the Hartford Art School’s International Limited-Residency Program. She lives and works in New York’s Hudson Valley.
