Pat O'Driscoll
Pat graduated from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York, with a degree in Art Education. Her studies provided her with the opportunity to work in a wide variety of media including oils, watercolours, collage, silk-screening, jewelry, theatre arts, etc.
Over the years she has traveled often abroad, and has lived with her family for extended time periods in Japan, Germany, Sweden, England and Australia. For the last 24 years she has sailed from the Wiarton Marina and had a cottage on the Bruce Peninsula, where she now lives 6 months of the year. Her current work in watercolour and mixed media reflects her travel experiences and especially the images seen on the Bruce and in the North Channel of Lake Huron.
She believes that to be most effective landscape paintings should reflect the beauty of nature, but need not be a realistic interpretation. Mood, colour and light are the essence of our own memories of views that are meaningful. Pat enjoys working with mixed media and her work seeks to interpret floral, still life and figures, as well as landscapes.
Pat is a member of the Waterloo Community Art Centre, the K-W Society of Artists and the Bruce Peninsula Society of Artists.
