“Art allows me to express what's important to me. I enjoy painting, as well as creating with natural fibers. As an acrylic painter, I enjoy using as much color as possible to show an aspect of life at its best. I also explore other types of mediums such as watercolor, inks, and colored pencil. The artwork I create is different, in that, it's uniquely inspired by my own personal story, and the stories told to me by my grandmother. My art evokes hope! My art evokes strength, It will make you think, and it may even make you smile because my art tells the stories that need to be told!” - Patricia Stuart
