Back from my trip to Italy and inspired by the beauty around me, there are lots of paintings that want to come out... Here is the first one from that tip.

About Me
- Patricia
- Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I now make my home in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A lifelong artist, I have worked in a variety of mediums over the years: batik, watercolour, tempera, clay, wood, leather, collage, mixed media and (of course!) pastels. I have also shown my work in a variety of galleries and shows in Argentina, Ecuador, Peru and Calgary. I earned my Master's in Architecture & Urban Planning from the University of Buenos Aires and hold a diploma in Computer Technology. I am always taking courses and participating in workshops, and it was at one of those, at the Wildflower Art Center in Calgary, that I became reacquainted with pastels. It was love at first (rather, second...) sight and I have been painting in that medium since.
