Hi, I'm Patt


I work in various mediums, including acrylic, encaustic, and cold wax with oil. My artwork includes everything from figures to landscapes to pure abstraction. I love the process of layering different materials—color, line, and texture all play key roles in my work. I’m all about experimentation and enjoy using unorthodox tools to create unique effects. You’ll often find me at the hardware store, picking up something that might spark the next step in my art!

My approach is very intuitive. I start each painting without a fixed image in mind. I pour, scrape, and make marks, letting the canvas evolve. Once it's covered in color and texture, I step back and look for the images that naturally emerge. I embrace the ‘happy accidents’ that happen along the way—it’s what makes the process so exciting. To me, it’s less about planning and more about responding to the painting as it grows.

I’m proud to be a Signature (AFCA) member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and a member of the DeCosmos Fine Arts Society. Whether I’m creating or teaching, I’m always looking for new ways to explore and share the magic of art.

What Students are Saying

“My experience with “Make Your Mark” exceeded all my expectations. I enjoyed her demonstrations and appreciated her hands on approach, but most of all, Patt’s knowledge about art techniques and materials is impressive I learned so much about the elements of design, how to balance the use of colour, how to embody various techniques, and the use of various complex materials. Furthermore, I gained a clearer perspective on what abstract and contemporary mean. Most of all, the dialogue between Patt and the other participants was invaluable. This sharing environment contributed to a better understanding of when, how, and why to apply paint to paper.”

Fun loving!

The "Make Your Mark" mentorship program rekindled my interest and motivation to make art again

Patt encouraged me to play, experiment, and have fun with the paints, and use different tools for mark making and using collage. I have gained confidence in my skills and in myself as an artist.

Nature Lover!

Today I call the space where I paint my studio and myself an artist!

I've learned to be bolder with colour, explored mark making, and mediums to build texture. I plan to continue to explore this creative world:learning techniques, developing my colour palette, and honing my style.

Margaret
Dog lover!

Support from Patt and the group helped me with new ideas and new ways of looking at things!

Being trained as an illustrator my paintings tend to be realistic, still, and controlled. When drawing from life my gestures are loose and free, I wanted to learn painting techniques to incorporate my drawing style. Patt has helped me explore painting styles, colour, texture, form, focal points, new products, new ideas, and new ways of looking at things. I highly recommend it!!!
