Patty began her dream of leading an artistic life by studying at Crealde School of Art in Winter Park, Florida.

Her ‘loose and juicy’ paintings reflect the coastal lifestyle she enjoys in Naples, Florida. She patiently layers transparent color allowing the paint and paper to do a lot of the work. This process produces many unexpected bursts of color.

Patty continues to teach watercolor classes at FMBAA on Mondays   and her work can be found in The Rosen Gallery and Studios in Naples, Florida, First Street Gallery in Neptune Beach, Florida, numerous private and corporate collections throughout the United States.
