Where I live there is a synergy between visual art, music, dance and theatre in combination with the natural beauty of mountain, wood and water. Each day I experience an abundance of stimulation that generates ideas and compels me to paint.

About the artist

Paint, fiber, pastel, charcoal — and curiosity.

Growing up near Chicago, Patricia’s visits to the Art Institute sparked a lasting fascination with how basic materials become meaningful objects. Greenville has been her home since 1990.
