I am a self-taught artist, inspired by life. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. And I believe that to be true.
I define my work as an opinion to express, which is created to invoke the thoughts, emotions and impression of the viewer. Because art is subjective, I create so the viewer can effortlessly engage with the art. I create original abstract, expression, modern, realism and contemporary works of art.
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.

This mini crankie, 6" wide, I made for the Mini Crankie Festival in February 2021, hosted by The Western Mass Puppet Guild. The song, I took from the last pages of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. If you don't manage to make it to the light and indeed fall back to earth to be born again, may you be born remembering, so you don't repeat your mistakes and you more fully understand yourself and your actions.
