Pat works both with canvas and with glass to create impressions of light and color. She earned her BA from Carleton College, Northfield, MN and began exploring artistic expression at the Art Center of Minnesota. She lives and works in two locations offering continuing inspiration: Northern Minnesota in the summer, and Southern Arizona in the winter. A studio artist, she finds her inspirations on plein air painting trips, and on travels with her husband as they tour our country's National Parks and scenic back roads in their antique cars.
