The artist Pelbam is some what mysterious...many people are absolutely captivated with his works. Pelbam art is becoming very popular. David Pelbam was born in 1932. He was a local artist in Rhode Island. He did his works between 1950 and 1960 only. He is most famous for painting portraits of dockworkers, ship captains, and rabbis.
