Hi. My name is Patty.

I began my art career documenting the ladybugs, grasshoppers, and spring frogs I collected from the creek behind my childhood home in Dallas, Texas. Capturing the details of fleeting moments and bringing magic back into the mundane through artmaking has been my passion.

I’ve been a freelance set designer, prop/fashion stylist, producer, event coordinator, and muralist for over 10 years. I’m trained in all aspects of fine art, from classic oil painting to gestural watercolors and life drawing. With my experience in the commercial photography industry, I’ve created custom floral arrangements to detailed backdrops and sets for clients ranging from Neiman Marcus, Container Store, and even McDonald’s.

Currently, I am a math and art educator in Dallas, pursuing an MA in Urban Leadership at SMU.
