Eighteen years\u2019 worth of old artist\u2019s paint rags and a camper van were the stimulus for Patricia Brown to find a new craft that she could do in a small space.<\/p>\n
Having purchased the whole gamut of colours in the DMC embroidery floss range, Patricia spent several weeks merging with the essence of her rags and then set off on her travels, with an eagerness to stitch, despite many years of absence from the craft.<\/p>\n
With inspiration along the way from different stitching styles, artists and even a spiritualist choral group, Patricia taught herself to integrate her gestural approach to abstract painting into her hand stitchery. It resulted in her Remnants Series of stitched textiles.<\/p>\n
Patricia is an Artist Member of State of the Art Gallery in Ithaca, New York and is known for her exhibitions of drawings, paintings, collages and mixed media assemblages in galleries and museums across New York. She taught visual art in New York State public schools where she was awarded Art Educator of the Year. She has co-authored a book, Traveling Through Glass, with her close friend and poet, Lisa Harris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
