PAT STACY

ARTIST STATEMENT AND BIO

 Pat is a native Arizonan who loves the colors of the purple mountains, rich sunsets, and living deserts.  It is color that begs her to paint as well as the desire to share her inner world through the color and texture that she loves.  Painting has become her passion, a gift of the great Creator that brings her much joy.

Pat graduated from Arizona State University, and is a Licensed Professional Counselor.   She spent many years in the Arizona schools and then as an American Red Cross volunteer doing disaster mental health work as a DMH Manager across the nation.  When her health changed, she began to paint, and there she discovered her passion.  She has studied with master artists to open new vistas of creativity and better share her expression of self with you.  She is a juried artist with the Arizona Art Alliance and has won ribbons in juried shows.  Her work is representational and abstract, very colorful, and it often evokes emotion in those who see it.  Because she is sharing her deepest self with you, she is delighted when you feel or see something meaningful in her art.  Abstract and representational contemporary art is meant for you to read into and see whatever you wish.  Pat hopes you will enjoy this journey--it is yours alone.  She loves creating the art for you.    Visit her website at www.patstacy.com .  To contact Pat, you may call her at 602-290-3009, or email her at pastacy@cox.net.
