Artist Statement:
Patrice's first introduction
to painting occured in France,
where she lived for three
years during her mid teens.
The Impressionist painters and
the areas they painted
influenced her greatly. Then
in her early twenties, a few
years in a small High Eastern
Arctic settlement brought her
attention to the interaction
of people with their
environment. These two
influences of France and the
High Arctic made her realize
that anthropology could be
expressed through painting.
Her career in painting is
supported by an Honours B.A.
from the University of
Toronto, specializing in
Canadian anthropology with a
minor in studio arts; and also
a four year special arts
program from Central Technical
School, Toronto. During
university she was the
President of the Anthropology
Students' Union at U of T.
Patrice was also given the
Innis College medal from Innis
College of the University of
Toronto for scholastic
achievement and cultural
participation. She has
continued to contribute to the
community by being a night
school and supply teacher for
figure drawing, still life and
portraiture and volunteering
at community activites.
Patrice's versatility in
medium and subject matter is
shown in her landscapes, still
life and portraits done in
French pastels ...
