About the Artist
ARTIST STATEMENT
What I create is autobiographical. At an early age I learned to draw and use power tools. Over the years I dabbled in various wood projects such as picture frames, boxes, and shelves, and then one day I decided to make things for children. Toys can be tricky to make by hand, but puzzles were a possibility, but not just the garden variety puzzle. I wanted to create something unique, something special, a puzzle that a child would cherish for a lifetime. Today, I create art puzzles from wood, more specifically, I create puzzles from my collection of stuffed animals that I recall having treasured as a child!

Currently Patricia works in wood, and she designs, hand-cuts and paints unique puzzles in the shape of animals.
