Pat has loved creating “art” for as long as she can remember. As a child, she took a children’s art class at the California College of Arts and Crafts and sold her first drawing while still in high school. She continued her art education at Cal State Hayward and Santa Monica College, taking classes in general art, drawing, life drawing and printmaking. After moving to Delaware in 1976, she became a stained glass artist, showing and selling her work at craft shows for over 20 years.

Returning to California and settling in Cambria rekindled her desire to paint. She is inspired by the French Impressionists, early California plein air painters and the beauty of the Central Coast. You will find her painting every Wednesday morning with Cambria’s Wednesday Irregulars.
