October Artist in Residence
Patty (she/her) is a watercolor artist based in Staunton, Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, though she grew up in northern Minnesota just 40 miles from the Canadian border. While her creative roots are in textiles and digital media, this exhibition marks her first foray into watercolor.
Art and making have been part of Patty’s life since childhood—her grandmother was a maker, and she remembers both the encouragement to “do art” and the mischief of losing her first art kit in the woods while trying to paint a honeysuckle bloom. Professionally, she spent much of her career as a graphic designer, but her personal practice reflects a blend of influences: saturated color, nature, folk art, Caravaggio’s dramatic light, botanical drawings, haute couture, and the playful edge of classic graphic design.
Her work can be described as quirky, whimsical, cozy—and just a touch creepy. This collection traces a journey from bright, fantastical “Oscar bugs” (named for her lazy cat), through mushrooms, and finally into friendly skeletons that draw on the memento mori tradition of making death less frightening. Painted primarily in watercolor with touches of gouache, Patty’s practice is driven by playful color exploration and a commitment to cozy, fantastical storytelling.
Patty hopes her work offers viewers a little escape: a moment of whimsy, beauty, and even affection for bugs, mushrooms, and skeletons alike. When she’s not painting, she can often be found working in her bright, flower-filled studio with her cat at her feet, Gregorian chants or Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the background, and her perch overlooking a metal roof that makes music when it rains.
