Patricia is a middle-aged woman who recently found art as a way to help elevate chronic pain she endures with back problems. She is a Montreal born native with one son, now a young adult. She had a strong desire to paint but thought she never could. Little did she know the sleeping talent hidden within. She is mainly self-taught, and she has discovered the magic soothing of expressing herself through art. She finds acrylics to be her favorite medium but also enjoys a change of pace with watercolour. "Everyone has a talent, whether it is recognized in early life or a litter later, like myself. It is well worth taking the time to discover your talent, it can be just the thing you need to discover" Patricia says. "I am glad I did!"
