Artist Bio:

Pat is a 3rd generation from Montana, spending her formative years riding her horses in the Beartooth Mountains. Her passion for horses came out in her young drawings and continues today in her paintings. Pat received her formal training at the University of Montana; Montana State University; and Eastern Montana College. She majored in Applied Arts beginning as a sculptor, later expanding into oil painting and has spent the last 30 years working in watercolor and acrylics. Pat now works exclusively in mixed media. Her work is done on a gold leafed surface using the leaf as a reflected light source. The work is experimental.

"My work is about a journey. Primarily abstract; it incorporates a love for experimentation with mixed media and color. I work on very large canvases that are gold, copper, and silver leafed. Using the leaf as a reflected light source under acrylic glazes creates exciting and constantly changing images with one's natural light source. The work is a process of building multiple design elements of collage and highly textured areas. It is a layered fusion of leafing, collage and acrylic glazes."
"My goal as an artist is to share my memories and perceptions of life never settling for less than quality in my work. An artist can never be too creative. We transport our viewers into each painting encouraging them to experience the wonder of it."
Pat's work is represented in many fine galleries across the United State and hangs in private collections around the work. Named an Outstanding Young Woman in America and listed in the Worlds Who's Who of Women, Pats works have been accepted in numerous national and regional shows. She is a past President of the Midwest Watercolor Society; past director of Fine Arts for the Montana Institute of the Arts; and a past owner of Beartooth Watercolor Workshops. She teaches, jurors, and lectures for groups across the U.S. Currently, Pat and her husband Stan divide their time between Flathead Lake, Montana and Wickenburg, Arizona.
