Patti Gibbons has spent most of her life residing in and being inspired by the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson Valley, a place that has captured both her heart and creative muse. Immersed in the arts from an early age, the backdrop of the historic art colony of Woodstock and the Hudson River School were the foundation of her creative life. She holds an AA degree in Visual Arts, and a BS and MS in Art Education. After a 20+ year career of teaching, Patti now works full time out of her home studio in Kingston, NY. A designer and a fine artist, her work has been exhibited regionally and internationally. She has also worked for private clients, businesses and historic sites in the Hudson Valley. “The studio is a dream world. Once the door is closed the outside world shut out, it is an escape to a place of wonder, exploration, magic, and resolution; a place where one feels most peaceful and complete.”
