3 years ago she unceremoniously layed to rest her paintbrushes, paints, canvas and her active 22 year love affair in creating masterful oil paintings. Thus commenced a 3-year journey of essentially non-creative activities in dealing with other things in her life, some [unmentionable things] of a not so pleasant nature and other things moreso to our liking (as in us living together, being stupid together and getting righteously hitched in 2005).
But now in a new light of creativity springing from out of the depths of who-knows-where-it-cometh, Patti has roared back into action and has begun to engage her creative talents into an entirely new medium.. that of glass and tile mosiacs.

Little web photos of her work as you see above can do little justice to the real thing. Believe me, in real life these works are impressive to behold. They are heavy, (the "mule" of our family, me, has to carry them). Heavy laden, both physically and with significance.
(I won't presume to try to present any kind meaning of her works to anyone reading this. That's Patti's job should she choose to, or perhaps the job of the spectator.)
As each piece becomes finished, we shall present it here on our webpage for your interest and pleasure.
