About the Artist

Patty was born in Huntington, W. Va.  She is the oldest of four children raised
in the Appalachian foothills of Southern Ohio.  Growing up in a rural setting
helped shape Patty to appreciate the love of nature which is evident in her
work.  Her love of art began at an early age when a 7th grade project
was on display at the Huntington Museum of Art in Huntington, W. Va.

She works mostly in oils and also likes to paint with colored pencils.  She has        
attended many  national workshops.  She has studied with Contemporary Artist,   
Robert Warren, Wildlife Artist, Dorenda Watson and Plein Air Artist, Chuck        
Marshall.   She is currently a
Certified Robert Warren Instructor.  Patty lives and       
works from her studio,
The Ridge Art Studio, in Canal Winchester, Ohio.  She has      
won many awards and her paintings are in many public and private collections   
including Berger Health System. She is currently teaching at National Conferences.      
Patty is a member of Oil Painters of America, The Portrait Society of America,
