In an artist’s statement written in 2009, Pavelich wrote: "I am an artist who grew up on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Here there is no shortage of inspiration, the surroundings are beautiful, and we have lots of fish and wildlife. Sometimes I like to just paint local landscapes on location or just sketch in the field and bring them home to be finished. "A lot of my time in the evenings is used for just creating something from a wealth of outdoor experiences stored up in my mind. My family is super important to me, so I enjoy working right at home or on our boat out on Lake Superior." She is missed.
