About the Artist
Driven by a lifelong fascination with nature, Patty is a wildlife and animal artist whose work captures the spirit, grace, and raw beauty of creatures both wild and domestic. Patty’s art career began later in life when she realized her passion for animals and art. She blends anatomical precision with emotional depth, creating pieces that resonate with animal lovers and art collectors alike. Her goal is to let you see into their soul through her brush.
Inspired by field observations, conservation efforts, and personal encounters with animals, Patty works primarily in acrylic, but has worked in oil, pastel and watercolor. Whether it’s the piercing gaze of a fox, the fluid motion of a horse, or the quiet dignity of a resting hound, each piece invites viewers to connect with the animal world on a deeper level.
Patty’s work is exhibited in galleries, shows, and publications and in private collections internationally as well as throughout the United States.
