Patti Brinks
studied Illustration at Kendall College of Art + Design, graduating with honors.
Her passion for painting developed from a desire to elevate the beauty of the everyday landscapes we find out all of our windows; to find a new lens to appreciate the world around us.
Ever a dabbler she is constantly pushing her boundaries with new subjects, mediums, and techniques, giving her a wide-ranging portfolio.
Love for the furry friends in her life has inspired her to begin trying to capture their personalities and love in art.
When she’s not losing the hours in her studio you can find Patti running with her dog, Laszlo, spending time with her husband, and spoiling her grandchildren.
