Artist’s Bio ~ Pat Dennis In 1975, Pat Dennis began painting in Nyack, NY, at the birthplace and boyhood home of American Realist painter, Edward Hopper. One of her first influences was as working assistant for Sari Dienes on “The Land,” an artists’ community in Stony Point, New York. Neighbors Robert Rauchenberg and John Cage would drop in on Sari and Pat for ground chicken bones and spinach lunches. A very strongly opinionated artist, Dienes constantly gave Pat lessons on art making and on being an artist.

Reading the work of great poets has always been important to me. My experience, as a young reader, of how a word or a grouping of words could create and shape a visual image is still with me. And looking back, probably suggest, why now, I am often drawn to using image with and text in my work in photography.
