Artist Pat Edwards
Artist Statement:
Pat likes to interpret her surroundings using the different techniques she has learned through her workshop experiences. The contrast of lights and darks attract her to many of the subjects she paints.
Pat lives in Mooresboro and has been painting for 20 years. She has had the privilege of attending art workshop with such artists as Gerald Brommer, Skip Lawrence, Stephen Quiller, Carl Dalio, Serge Hollerbach, Karlyn Holman and Carrie Brown.
She worked mainly in water media and collages until being introduced to pastels during a workshop with Mary Kelly, formerly of Charlotte, NC. Pastels quickly became a new love, opening another direction to be explored.
Pat enjoys using the different mediums to interpret the feelings evoked by the landscapes she is inspired to paint as each medium is unique and helps her to express what she visualizes. Color and light, and the contrast of the two, catch her attention, leading her in a strong desire to paint.
She is an award winning artist and in 1999 she received a regional grant from the Arts and Science Council, in Charlotte, NC., to do a series of paintings depicting the disappearing textile mills in and around her home area.
She continues to attend workshops, in her effort to always keep learning, and growing in her abilities, as she attempts to capture natures art around her.
