Patti paints in oil and cold wax and creates collage paintings and assemblage art, using ephemera, vintage photos and handmade papers. She has a particular interest in storytelling with a focus on social justice issues and celebrating inspirational artists and activists. Patti was invited to have a solo show recognizing her as an emerging artist in the the Park View Gallery at Glen Echo for three weeks in 2017 and was part of the Holiday Show for instructors at the Popcorn Gallery at Glen Echo. In 2019, Patti had a two month show at The National Institutes of Health and was selected by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) as a program recipient at the Katzen Center for the Arts. She also had solo shows last year (and in prior years) at the Palisades Post Office and the gallery space at Simon Says Yoga. Her work was featured at\u00a0 River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation in a solo show September and October, 2019, and her work was chosen for permanent installation in two public call boxes in the Palisades, DC.<\/p>\n
