PATRICIA REED PITTMAN

Pat Pittman loves translating the beauty she observes around through her art. Pat creates in several mediums, including oil, colored pencil and pastel. She has focused much of her artistic career on the classical approach to oils used by the masters, and continues to be fascinated by the human form.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
I can’t remember when I wasn’t drawing, painting, or creating. Although I have a great appreciation for Academic Art, I am also drawn to Vibrant Color and the way light affects color as the Impressionist were.

After college, Marriage, and raising a family. I have had more time to invest in my love of portraiture, landscapes, and still-lifes. I am constantly in awe of the beauty surrounding us all. My hope is that I convey this beauty and touch others through my art.

Native of Atlanta, Georgia. Attended Stephens College, Columbia MO and is a Mississippi State Alumna. Works in Colored Pencils, Pastels, Acrylics, Watercolors, Oils, and has studied the Classical Approach to Oils by the Masters. Specializes in Landscapes, Portraits, and Classical Reproductions with commissioned works in North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Maryland, Florida, and Israel.
