Patricia spent several years living in Palm Beach, Fl., where she studied with acclaimed abstract artists she has always admired. Inspired by the natural beauty of the ocean, her abstract work articulates a graceful fusion of movement and color. With a diverse palette, Patricia’s collection offers a variety of pieces including both bold and soft aesthetics. After many years in the corporate world, Patricia earned her Masters Degree in Transpersonal Psychology, and an additional certification for Expressive Arts Therapy. She has lead workshops in creative painting at various venues, including The Georgian Bay School of Arts and Chautauqua Institute. Her paintings have been featured in numerous publications worldwide including the premiere design magazine “Palm Beach Illustrated.” Several of her paintings are included in Michelle Cassou and Stewart Cubley’s book "Life, Paint, and Passion." While living in Florida, she was featured at Art Palm Beach International, the Designers' Show House in WPB, and in Nantucket Island through JF Art Gallery. She was a featured artist at The MAE in Delray Beach. Through R2H Modern in Jupiter, FL., her original works of art were made available on Perigold, a worldwide luxury online retailer, offering furniture, artwork and home accessories. In 2023 Patricia published “The Healing Power of Collage” on Amazon. Patricia currently resides in Ontario, Canada.
