Patty has been involved with art since she was a kid. Her dad exposed her to art history and his love of art. She studied at the Art Center and had a career in entertainment advertising as an Art Director. She rarely found time to be creative around work and raising 2 kids. She ventured back and dabbled in several mediums before circling back to painting. Watercolor was one that she hadn't explored before but had a curiosity. Now retired with grand kids, she is loving the time she has to paint. She paints for herself as well as commissions.
