Pat’s mixed media paintings are inspired by memories, family legends, old photographs, and crumbling crazy quilts. By interweaving bits and pieces of pattern, texture, text, and imagery, Pat’s paintings convey a patchwork of interconnected relationships and shared experience.
Pat works in gouache, oil paint, pencil, and wax on a thick surface of gesso made from a traditional recipe of glue and powdered chalk. This malleable ground allows her to build up and inscribe into the surface of her paintings, creating the impression of time worn fabric, crumbling letters, and half-forgotten stories.
