 Working
in a style all her own, Patti's paintings reflect a strong sense of
color and design. Painting outdoors, along our coastline, in a garden,
or on her many travels, she captures and records an ordinary moment
in time and the ever changing quality of light.
She
received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from U.S.C., with a major
in design. Her work is in numerous private collections here and abroad.
She is a member of California Art Club, Oil Painters of America, Laguna
Plein Air Painters Association and Southern California Plein Air Painters
Association. She is currently showing at Laguna North Gallery, Debra
Huse Gallery, and Jane Hamilton Fine Art.
