Patricia, known as Perugina, is mainly self taught and has had a love of drawing and painting all her life.

Based in Sydney and working from her studio at home, Patricia spends her time exploring different mediums, techniques and styles producing works in Graphite, Oils, Acrylics and Watercolour that depict her love of Flowers, Cats, Still Life and Female Figure forms.

She continually adds to her collection of Watercolour Ladies which are each individually named and numbered.

____________________________________________

These are

Intimate Works for Intimate Spaces.

Influenced by the works of Norman Lindsay and very much drawn to the beauty of the female form Patricia's love of painting these Ladies, although stylised,are a direct expression of what she herself feels is

to be a woman

and celebrates this femininity with all its voluptuousness

in shape and form.

Capturing their strengths and vulnerabilities

as well as their beauty.

Her gravitation towards the watercolour medium

seemed a natural choice facilitating this expression,

with its flow, unpredictability, and translucent like qualities all coming together to create

a collection she hopes over time will be a

Celebration of the Feminine.

She also continues to add to her collection of floral paintings themed 'For the Love Of Flowers' as well as adding to her series 'Ladies and the Instruments They Play'

Patricia hopes that you see the beauty within the pictures she loves to create.
