Patricia Williams I use light, and color to celebrate the beauty of nature. Always it’s the light that captures me and hopefully I capture it for you. Sometimes there are hidden things in my paintings. I feel the need to share the beauty that I see. The challenge of detailed watercolors and Impressionistic Oils with palette knife is my preferred medias. I also make jewelry because like most women I love jewelry and like most creative artists you just can’t keep us in one medium. I enjoy painting at shows whenever possible. I was introduced to art at a very early age, as both my parents loved art. At the age of 11, I started taking impressionistic oil painting lessons. I only took one art class in high school and then majored in Fine Art in 1973 At American River College. After graduating I worked in the corporate community until 2001. I then went back to refresh my skills after a lack of use for so many years. I returned to take several more classes from the renowned artist and gifted teacher Gary Pruner before he retired. I have been painting professionally ever since. In 2003 Dr. Doreen Virtue Published one of my paintings in her “Magical Mermaid and Dolphins” Cards which have been distributed World Wide. I have had several of my paintings published in “Guide to the Arts magazine”. In 2003 I was part of the Mural team in Elk Grove that painted the Pediatrics ward in the Methodist Hospital in Elk Grove, CA. In 2004 The City of Elk Grove purchased one of my paintings for the City Hall. In 2003 and 2004 I served as show chair in W.A.S.H. (Watercolor Artist of Sacramento Horizons). I also served as show chair for the “The New Artworks Gallery” in 2004. In 2005 I helped with the CWA membership show at the State Capitol. I have been a member of the Elk Grove Artists, WASH and NCA (Northern California Artists) for several years. My husband and I have been volunteer docents at the California State Fair Fine Art Exhibit. In 2004 my supportive husband (who refers to himself as the road crew) and I started selling at Fine Art Festivals as much as we can. My jewelry and paintings can be seen in The Chroma Gallery, Blue Moon Gallery. I’ve taken several workshops from various artists and continue to explore different techniques to keep it fun and interesting. Juried
