Pat has had a tough year. As she may just stop painting and get on with her life, this may be the year to purchase one of her paintings. Born in Holland, raised in Indonesia and the USA, Pat is fascinated by the different cultures, sights, smells and sounds of this world. Images she has enjoyed capturing range from Holland's sleepy ponds to Virginia's earthy low tides and California harbor's foghorn at night, from bricks in Lawrence to fish markets in Korea, and the memory of her grandmother's sarong.
