Encouraged by family and teachers, Pattie started drawing and making art an early age. On her tenth birthday, Pattie received her first artist easel. She was so excited when she moved to Texas and could take Art as a high school elective. She later went to University of Texas and got her Fine Arts degree in Studio Art. She worked for several years as a graphic designer.

Pattie met her husband, John in college while working with high school students in Young Life. Later while raising 4 children, she taught preschool for 17 years creating Art with young children. She was also busy teaching Art camps and set design with church drama camps. She also worked with a kids’ puppet ministry for 25 years. 

When not getting dirty with paint or clay, she is digging in the dirt, tending her garden where she loves discovering bugs, lizards, snakes or just the colors of the dirt…oh and the flowers too! She has 2 tarantulas as class pets.

Inspired by God’s creation, Pattie strives to spark curiosity and sharpen observational skills in her students by making connections to everyday life and learning, engaging them to see Art in everything around them, and inviting them into the creative process and pushing them to go beyond what they think they can do.
