Patricia M Card

About the Artist

Patricia (Patsy) is known for her imaginary intaglio pulled prints. She also paints in acrylics, watercolor and oil, depicting nature with human interaction into her canvas. Her recent projects are mixed media art using teabags and other paper that she finds interesting for it's texture and pattern. Planning a project is not what her art is about, just being "in the moment” to create art using intuition as her muse. She lets creative feelings flow to capture a pose or an idea. Using symbolism also helps in making a statement whether it’s noticeable or not. While she studies her preliminary drawings she may decide what will or will not work. Sometimes she changes her mind on the spur of the moment which brings a spontaneity to her work.  Patricia was born in Washington DC and lived with her parents in Northern Virginia during her young years. Her parents encouraged her in all her interests and she was able to take drawing, painting and sculpture classes at the Corcoran School of Art. She married and moved to Riva in Anne Arundel County where she had 3 children. She holds an Associate of Science degree in Commercial Art from Northern Virginia Community College and finished 4 years at the University of Maryland with a major in art and a minor in History. She has worked in the graphics field supporting government contractors in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC for 30 years. Now retired she enjoys creating her fine art and experiments with new techniques. She currently takes intaglio and other printing classes at Anne Arundel Community College.
