Patricia J. Collins, Oil Painter

Patricia studied part-time at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts, Lyme, CT for five years while completing her career as a journalist. In 2006, she resigned as editor-at-large for a New York City publishing company to pursue her artistic endeavors fulltime.

“I am drawn to the narrative that literally can be written in paint. What is revealed, what is withheld and what is implied are all part of the story as I see it.”

Patricia is a member of the Bonita Springs Art League, Bonita Springs, FL; the von Liebig Art Center, Naples, FL and the Lyme Art Association, Lyme, CT.
