Portraits by Patricia

Introduction: Through photographs emailed to my website, I create portraits of babies, children or adults. I also do "fantasy portraits" and pet portraits. I paint realistic or abstract landscapes, seascapes and florals. I am a retired fine art teacher and work in pastels, mixed media and acrylics. I also do "noir" (black and white paintings). You can visit my website and go to the "Works of Art" section. Click on the first portrait and it will enlarge greatly and also become a slideshow of my art. You can better appreciate the scope of my art work and expertise this way. I have my own "unique" way of "painting" or "seeing" the world we exist in. I taught fine arts for over 20 years and have my bachelors in fine arts and a master's in education and English. I have the ability to"interpret" your photo in many ways and in different medias. I have been drawing and painting since the age of five and love what I do. I will give you a "unique" interpretation of your desired photograph!
