About the Artist

Patricia began her studies as an Art Major but switched degrees to pursue Psychology.  Before moving to Western Washington in 2004, she completed a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University.  As a Black Diamond resident, Patricia was the Founding President of a non-profit group developed to mentor and encourage local artists.  She has served as a 4Culture district 9 board member and currently holds a board position with Puget Sound Group of Northwest Artists.  Her work has won several awards in regional exhibitions and has captured the attention of the national organization Oil Painters of America where she has been a featured artist. 

In additional to the work found online through her website, Patricia has shown her work at several exhibitions in northwest Galleries, including the John Daniel Teply Gallery, The Art of Water Global Art Project, Karla Matzke Gallery and Scott Milo Gallery.  Additional work can be found on wine labels as well as several private collections throughout the United States.  Locally, Patricia has donated her art to community fund raising events, public art displays and murals in the Black Diamond area. 

Patricia’s love of life and fascination with nature echo the spiritual connectedness and resilience she sees everyday.  Look closely at the titles of her work, most pieces are accompanied by poems or descriptions that she hopes will provide inspiration.
