About the Artist

  • Hello! I’m Patty, located in Northcentral Wisconsin where I create abstract collage art inspired by the wisdom of the natural world.

    Each piece begins in silence. Just torn paper, instinctive composition, and the energy of what wants to come through.

    I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and grew up as a shy child, often dealing with the challenges of bullying. During those tough times writing, poetry and art helped me cope through high school years.

    My path to becoming an artist wasn't a straight one. In the 1970s my life followed the traditional route of marriage and family. This was a rewarding phase of my life, but it put my art dreams on hold. After my kids were grown, I reconnected with art and dove back into creating.


    Finding inspiration in nature — animals, birds, flowers and landscapes keeps me grounded. Beginning with collage papers hand-printed using a gel plate and sometimes adding cut and crushed glass on the canvas, then covering it all with resin to bring out the details of the papers and glass.

  • My art is an invitation to you to bring nature’s beauty and wonder into your everyday environment, through my perspective, and offer unique talking points that carry special meaning to you.

    Outside of my art, I enjoy reading, good movies, watching football, and spending time with family either traveling or sitting by the campfire. These interests provide balance and enrich my life.

    I create my art to spark different feelings in you. To become a cherished part of your life, home, inspire creativity in you, or connect you to a broader beauty of the world.

    Whether displayed as a focal point or part of a curated collection, you have a chance to pause, reflect, and engage with the subtle layers of nature rendered in glass and paper.
