Pattie’s Bio:
Pattie began painting shortly after retiring from United Airlines as a flight attendant. A passion for color and shapes in her abstracts she defines the intuitive process with multi layers of color. When beginning a painting the results rarely resemble the initial start of the piece. Working primarily in acrylics and constantly experimenting with the process pushing the envelope for changes in results. She is not content to simply blast the canvas with the saturated colors of her paints. She utilizes a heat gun to the paint until it begins to bubble and warp with fantastic textures that she desires in her work. The whimsical nature of her paintings is displayed not only in her abstracts but also in her colorful character pieces.
