From a family of creatives, Patti’s journey as an artist began at a very young age. Raised in LA and NY, she was exposed to world class museums, travelled to many different cultural landscapes (27 countries!) & as an observant “only child”, she was always enchanted with the beauty that always surrounded her even in times of struggle where she found solace in creating beautiful imagery. In college she had the opportunity to explore many fine art mediums- from painting, metal smithing and more. One of her favorite life experiences was studying a semester abroad at the Royal College of Art in London, and has been traveling, mentoring and painting ever since. She combined her passion of helping others through teaching and received a degree in Single Subject Teaching Degree in Fine Art and Applied Sciences at SDSU in 1996. Along with private lessons for all ages, she taught at a “classical education” school for the past 4 years and at a charter school for several years prior. Her paintings come to you with 25 years of practice, unabridged effort, vibrant colors, thick brushstrokes, attention to detail and enjoys dazzling her viewers with her impressionistic style full of color, light, and beauty with a bubbly and positive personality that comes through her art. She teaches and creates from a space of play, love, & joy in hopes to create positive beautiful pieces & experiences for ALL to enjoy! Sending you peace, love and light
