Patty will be live painting on Timucua’s stage on August 25th, 30th and the 31st.
Let’s begin with what I know for sure…
I have to eat. I have to sleep. I have to paint.
Over the years, I have established my artistic style of patiently layering watercolor while exploring miles of Florida coast. This combination allows me to capture the beauty and tropical nature of Florida. It inspires my creativity as well as my passion for mixing color. My goal is to capture a moment in time as I experience and remember it. Leading an artistic life has been my lifelong dream. I’ve always had a creative side, but I began my formal artistic life by studying at Crealde School of Art in Winter Park, Florida, where I was granted Fellowship and accepted a Studio Artist position.
My paintings have been exhibited in juried exhibitions and has been featured in a variety of publications including Orlando Magazine, Naples Illustrated, E-Bella Magazine, Gulfshore Life, and Naples Daily News. Corporate collections include CNL, D. Gates Wealth Management, McCree General Contractors & Architects, Chrysler-Jeep of Sanford, Lynx Corporation. I am a member of McRae Art Studios in Orlando, Florida, Crealde School of Art, Florida Watercolor Society, and Central Florida Watercolor Society.
My art business has been designated as a “Trusted Art Seller” with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
