Patt’s creative development was inspired by the textures and colors of the rural Saskatchewan landscape, where she was born and raised. Like most girls, Patt had dolls but rather than just playing with them she designed their wardrobes, furniture and houses. She spent many hours drawing designs, sewing and crafting items. During this period of her childhood she began the study of music. Patt followed the creative path in her career as a Floral Designer and Interior Decorator owning businesses in Saskatoon and Calgary. During this time she dressed windows and set up displays, gave workshops throughout Canada and held a teaching position at Olds College. Patt attended many classes, workshops and symposiums on ceramics, silk painting, jewellery making, monotype and watercolour. In Calgary in 2004, Maxine Masterfield presented a week long workshop on Mixed Media and this became the catalyst needed to launch a new interest in art. Patt weaves her many experiences into her mixed media art developing a tactile surface rich with texture and colour.
In 2008 Patt relocated to Vancouver Island to pursue her art career full time.
Patt is a member of the local De Cosmos art group, the Federation of Canadian Artists and the American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD)
