About The Artist

Patricia Romeo is a painter, printmaker and mixed media artist. She studied studio art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University between 2010 and 2016 subsequently earning a Master of Arts in Teaching in Art Education and a Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Studio Art. Her art is primarily developed through process, intuition and play with the goal of creating a pleasing composition of shapes and colors.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My art reflects my experiences and my interest in the natural world. Working with Mother Nature as my muse, I focus on my surroundings and think about the numerous ways of translating what I see outside my window onto a two dimensional surface. I study the shapes, patterns and textures of trees, plants, and flowers and then translate them into a personal vocabulary for my artwork. I primarily create in three mediums; graphite and all drawing materials, relief printmaking, and oil-based media. As a relief printmaker, I strive to develop a mark-making vocabulary that is based on a combination of drawing and painting using line and shape to develop imagery that defines my vision of the natural world.
