Although her first passion as an artist was photography, Patricia spent over 20 years creating her visions in mixed media fiber art before deciding to concentrate her creative energy on painting and photography in 2013. Her art has been exhibited internationally, including an installation of one of her fiber art landscapes at the US Embassy in Tallinn, Estonia from 2002-2004. In 2005, Patricia was chosen to be an Artist-in-Residence for a month in Balatonfured, Hungary. The State of New Mexico has purchased and installed 10 of Patricia’s landscapes as part of the Art in Public Places Program at various sites around New Mexico.

“My inspiration comes from travel to Asia, East Africa, Russia, Antarctica, and extensive travel throughout North America and Europe. I’m drawn to a few subjects in nature that I find perpetually intriguing and my voice is whispering a tribute to the incredible beauty in both the subtle and violent forces of nature, only touched by the hand of humans on rare occasions. I’m obsessively drawn to trees, rocks, all forms of water, and animals; I portray these subjects as if they were asking to me to reveal their messages to the world. My paintings, photographs, and fiber art are dramatic portraits of Earth and I hope to draw the viewers into these scenes to share the exhilaration I feel and to cherish the wonders of the place we call home.”
