Inspiration combined with perfect preparation, presentation, pacing and production were excellent.

More About Patt

Artist, Teacher, Coach and Mentor

Patt was born in Nipawin, Saskatchewan and grew up on a grain farm along with her four siblings. Although there was always lots of work to do being isolated during the summer holidays afforded her lots of time to create. Patt became very adept at sewing often creating wardrobes for her dolls, as well designing doll houses filled with furniture. As a teenager she fashioned many of her clothes by making over garments. She was upcycling long before the word was coined! Patt’s first childhood memory of art was colouring on any paper that was around and although she does not remember she has been told she coloured on walls too!Today Patt works in many mediums including acrylic, encaustic and cold wax with oil. Her work includes imagery of people, landscape and abstraction.The layering of a variety of media offers an assortment of possibilities within her work; colour, line and texture all play a role within her imagery. Her work is about the process she loves layering, scraping, sanding, pouring and dripping. She uses many unorthodox tools in her work and loves visits to the hardware store! Patt retains a childlike exuberance when starting a new painting. Rather than have a fixed image in mind, Patt starts each project by pouring, scraping, and mark making. Once she has covered the canvas with a medley of colour, texture and pattern, she then steps back and looks for images to present themselves. She paints very intuitively listening to the painting and responding to it. “ I like the challenge of not having a preconceived idea and taking advantage of the ‘happy accidents’ that occur. To me this method of painting feels more spontaneous and less like the paint by number kit I got as a gift when I was 10” “I developed my technique by being willing to experiment and always being open to what if? A large part of my learning comes from teaching.” Patt splits her time between creating original works and teaching others, through workshops and a mentorship program run out of her Parksville studio. Patt is a Signature (AFCA) member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and a member of the DeCosmos Fine Arts Society.
