Pati Trippel

Multi-Media Artist

Picture
Lover of color, nature and life, Pati Trippel  seeks to capture the spiritual essence of her subject matter through water media collage. As an abstract realist, her landscapes, florals and nature studies are crisp, clean, fresh, vibrant with color, and invite the viewer to participate in the creative process of interpreting her work. Through the layering of acrylic dyed tissue on canvas, a unique luminosity, fluidity and transparency is achieved. Found snake skins, crystals, feathers, pine needles, butterfly wings  and wildflowers are often incorporated into her paintings as she weaves reality and fantasy on canvas. Pati is also accomplished in watercolors, pastels and acrylics….always enjoying the challenge of trying something new. On this site you will find galleries of her artwork as well as jewelry, and fabric/fiber pieces. Pati is currently displaying her work at:
          Gallery 726, Hot Springs, Arkansas,(501) 624-7726, gallery726.com
        Artist Workshop Gallery, Hot Springs, Arkansas, 501-623-6401, artistsworkshopgallery.com
