Pat Palmer

Pat Palmer has enjoyed drawing and painting since she was a child. Busy raising three children, she put her art on the backburner. When her children were grown and her father became ill with cancer, she became a partial caretaker. One day she painted him a fish to enjoy as he was an avid fisherman his whole life. He told her she should be painting seriously and often. When he passed away she took this to heart and became a self taught painter, learning technique online and in books to enhance her natural talent. She has dabbled in oils but prefers acrylics. In her spare time she volunteers here at the art center and at hospice, to honor her father's memory.
