Patricia is a territory resident of The United States Virgin Islands, in the Caribbean.
Impressionist paintings are diary entries of her views. She creates small works on paper/ large works on canvas using charcoal, ink, acrylics, graphite, and gold-leaf. She begins by recording visual points in the scene and finishes by exaggerating abstracted ones. The title tells the tale.
“In the progression of creation, eyes emerge from brushstrokes. They appear as shadows in rocks, windows on walls, waves in the sea. They are in islands and in buildings. You have to look to see them because they hide.
Studying the masters, Camille Pissarro and Paul Gauguin, sparked my desire to become an artist in the tropics. My latest creations are glimpses from seas.”
