Artwork by Pat Swanson
Pat officially started painting in 2009 and has always loved the creative process. After retiring from teaching, she took classes and began to work with watercolors. She describes her style as evolving and she is willing to try anything from abstract, to pen and ink, to paint pouring, to botanical art. “The challenges and learning opportunities are endless,” says Pat.
Pat learned about Art 4 Shelter through the Minnesota Watercolor Society and has been profoundly touched by the mission of the event. “Painting is my passion, and I feel blessed that my hobby can benefit others,” says Pat.
Pat is currently showing a piece in the poet/artist collaboration at Crossings in Zumbrota and this month her Lake City painting group, Show and Share, will have an exhibit at the Jewel Golf Course. She will also show her art at the Washington Street Art Festival in Lake City over Memorial Day weekend.
Thank you Pat for your generous donation to Art 4 Shelter, and we look forward to seeing your art in the show!
